Hemorrhoid question?
Ever since this past Monday after relieving myself, and then cleaning myself, I noticed my Hemorrhoid was a little bigger than usual, almost like a swelling feeling. So everyday including today since Monday It swells up as I use the restroom. The last time it was like this was when I was constipated months ago like 4-5 months ago and it got real huge and I was given cream to shrink it and it worked. But now no matter how short I try to stay in the restroom it always swells, then goes back down a little bit. No bleeding or anything like that, just swelling. And I’ve been using this cream that my doctor gave me along with Prep. H, and they don’t really shrink it like they used to. I mean it goes down when I’m not on the toilet and goes down when I apply the cream, but nothing like it really used to. What should I do? Do hemorrhoids swell like this sometime? Should I keep applying the cream and wait for the best? I do workout, but I don’t think that has an effect on it.
I have heard about this Rue Care Oil stuff, really the only thing that’s keeping me from buying is its not FDA approved. But the testimonials seem so promising. So please tell me what I should do. I really would like it to go back down in size the way it was a little over a week ago with no issues going to the bathroom.

Well, the best preventative measure is to take stool softener. My husbands dr told him they are safe to take for the rest of your life. It’s not a laxative, it just keeps it from getting too hard which will cause straining and hemorhoids.
This will sound gross but dr’s have said that you can actually push the extended vein back in. Try when you are in the shower and get your finger soapy and relax and see if you can push it back up in there. That could easily solve the problem.
If not, and you are not in pain then you could just leave it.

Try Rue Care Oil – it has shown to be very successful also in cases when Prep H has failed to resolve the problem.
It is all natural (while Prep H is not!) – it shrinks the hemorrhoids and strengthens the veins.
It is also important you figure out what is causing your hemorrhoids and treat this as well. If you’re not constipated, overweight, if your working conditions are not causing excessive pressure on the lower part of the rectum (sitting standing) it might be acid/alkaline imbalance that is contributing to weaken the veins, and weak veins can faster develop hemorrhoids. There are also some other factors that are contributing to formation of hemorrhoids – like Vitamin B6 deficiency, fatigue liver, IBS. However, this are not so common.
If you’re having acid/alkaline imbalance food that is leaving much acidic ash in the body can also cause flare-up of hemorrhoids. Trust me – I have personal experience in the family, whenever they eat "forbidden" foods the hemorrhoids like to show up, however with the Rue Care Oil hemorrhoids immediately "learn the lesson" and peace is restored.
