Hi Tammy! I hate to say this but I had them before surgery and still struggle with them. Don't waste your time on the over the counter stuff. I tried that and finally they got so bad I had to go to the Doctor. One week after seeing my GP I could actually sit without it hurting! There are a lot better med that help with the inflamation then the over the counter stuff. I do suggest Benifiber so you don't strain as much. And I always find that if I notice them coming on, a warm bath helps me. I hope this helps! And good luck at the doc. It will all be ok. Marla

I have been using Miralax and that seems to make things better. I use only one capful in the morning with my crystal lite. They no longer hurt or bleed.

Hey there Tammi I don't have this problem but around 2 months out i had some bleeding after exercise and they thought it was hemorrhoids. Anyway, it is gone now. I just want to say WOW 130 lbs - you passed me up. I have only lost a total of 125 since last March. You go girl!!!!!!!

My Dear, If you truly have hemorrhoids one inch in length or diameter, ask your doctor for referral to a surgeon, or specifically a colorectal surgeon, to have the surgically removed!
