Could anal dilators help with hemorrhoids? My colorectal surgeon says my sphincter is too tight and that i have to take warm baths etc. After years my external rhoids are still there. Could dilators potentially help me?

Id ask your doc - might help or make things worse...

Once i had professional guidance i stopped experimenting with my own wild ideas 😅

The sphincter is a muscle that unfortunately clenches when hemorrhoids flare.  Muscle relaxers and sitz baths seem to be the best way to go.  

Haven’t heard anyone use dilators for this 🤔

Yes, ive been taking supplements, diosmin, hesperidin, grape seed, witch  hazel, plus hem-control by naticura but nothing changed

Take muscle relaxers like a benzo and flavonoids like @Sam Mendoza said.  That and hot baths helped me turn around a thrombose

No, i havent asked him yet. My CRS said the origin of my problem is that my sphincter is too tight and they wont resolve until i learn to relax it with warm baths. Dilators purpose is to relax the sphincter so i thought they could help. I was just wondering if anyone has tried them and found them useful.
