Any unconventional ways to treat these? I have 2 external hemorrhoids and 3 internal prolapsing hemorrhoids that don’t seem to go down. The pain is insurmountable but I’m terrified of the surgery. If I’m in this much pain now, I can’t imagine what it’d be like then. I’m trying anything to get them to go down. I’ve tried taking sitz baths, epsom salt baths, Emuaid ointment, lidocaine, ibuprofen, tucks pads, (which seem to cause more pain?) I even started putting ointments in the fridge to cool them off before applying. I’m scared of eating because no matter what, it comes out hurting. I started eating a high fiber diet with mainly soluble fibers. And still, it hurts. I’ve started drinking 64-90 oz of water a day and it still hurts. I feel like I’m trying any and everything and running out of options. I just saw something online for using sugar on them? Has anyone had experience with this? Does anyone have advice on how to get rid of these? I’ve had them for 10 years and they’re unbearable…

What kind of specialist doctor are you seeing?  How do they suggest removing the external?  

Glad that you’re making progress @juycBQhi6 !

@Manuel Thank you! 
So far, My doctor has been taking the alternative route as much as possible. I was able to get two internal ones banded and the pain in the beginning was excruciating for me. But after about a week or two, I started having a lot less leakage, I don’t have to stay in the bathroom as long, and I don’t have as many flare-ups now. I still have one that has to be tied off. Then, I’m going to try getting a painful external one removed. I found out that the pain I was experiencing during this post had less to do with the hemorrhoids though. After I went back for an office visit, I was told that I had an anal fissure, but also that the sphincter was in a constant state of spasm. So, I’ve been using ointment and so far, it’s been helping for that.

I’m hoping sclerotherapy is an option for the external ones. It sounds painless almost. I know they can come back but after all this and so many years of dealing with these, I might just change my eating habits for good and hope they never come back from straining or anything again.

Yes. My diet is full of them but it’s like no matter what I eat or how hard it comes out it still hurts. I am currently in contact with a colorectal surgeon. She wanted to try rubber band ligation first and then proceed with surgery if necessary. I just wish they hadn’t tried talking me out of it. I get scared so easily. I have an upcoming appointment though.
