You forgot people may want to have surgery because the thought of living the rest of my life with daily hemorrhoids makes me not want to live at all anymore. It’s incredibly depressing
Oh my dear I sometimes have suicidal thoughts now...dealing with extreme itching from the past 5 months..I take antihistamine tablets everyday..people laugh at me when I say i don't feel like living anymore..i have been avoiding surgery as it's a very initial stage ,I changed my lifestyle too..but the itching just never goes away , it's so depressing...my brain has stopped working too
Pranicura helped me so much. I was thinking about surgery until I tried it for a month and it changed my life. No more pain and leaking and blood. Thank you Doctor. Try the Pranicura first and give it at least one month. I was suffering for 2 years previously.
Hi Dr.Chung, I learnt I had a STI/STD the whole time…. Not a case of hemorrhoids. SMH 🤦🏽♂️ thank you for the continued support to a healthy rectum in the process.
I had a hemorrhoidectomy back in 2019 and it was the worst thing I've been through. What makes things even worse? Hearing the doctor say he wasn't able to remove them all. It's better than before but there's still discomfort. I love weightlifting, it's a big part of who I am and I would love to get back into bicycling again which still is completely out of the question for now. It's very comforting to hear that there's a laser treatment option should I wish to pursue further treatment. Love watching your videos.
Dr. Chung you are the very best. I enjoy every single one of your videos they are always all very extremely informative. Thank you for everything you do. You are such a blessing!!
Man, you are my favorite hemorrhoid doctor. Every time I have a question about my entrenal hemorrhoid is like you can read my mind, and I find a video of you answering my question. But I was sad today because I found out that you don't take insurance 😢 but I will still watch your videos they are so full of useful information.
Thanks Dr. Chung, I saw you several weeks ago in your office. I am still considering the laser surgical procedure, but still a bit fearful of the recovery pain as I had two hemorrhoid surgeries in the past and found the recovering almost too much to bear. I am hoping a laser procedure will be the final answer for me. Still haven't made a final decision, but thank you for your helpful videos and understanding of this problem.
I had a PPH in 2008, hemorrhoidectomy in 2009 and the surgeon told me not to have any more surgeries. The recovery took more than 2 months and it was a very terrible experience. I'm dreading another surgery since my hemorrhoids are growing back. Good luck with your laser surgery!
External flare up can freak anyone out. So glad to have found you when it happened to me cause Online info is mostly scary! You were a calming energy amongst a sea of CrAzY business. Thx Dr Chung
Rubber banding procedure mild discomfort with short duration. The recovery was about 5 hours with tylenol . The next day is good. I had one procedure for one large internal one and about 2 weeks recovery for the next one.
thank you Dr. Chung...I love your teaching style, so matter of fact & simple words...& easy to follow. I would also like it if you could do a short video on "rubber banding" I know nothing about it ...only have heard it mentioned somewhere in the past... (I intend to be doing your pelvic floor exercise..thank you so much!
I had a banding. Turns out no hemorrhoids just tons of extra skin. Had a monometry done. Every time I sit down it feels like my guts are coming out. Now I wait for answers that will hopefully come next week. Over a year I thought I had hemorrhoids. Now I have no clue. Rectal prolapse was taken off the table.
@snehadeb7961 no, I didn't get surgery. Problem is I had an anal tag removal surgery last year and due to which I got Fissures. Now my fissure isn't healing properly and I get retears very often because of my gut and hormones issue 😔 feels like I'm stuck in a loop. Thinking of going to India and seeing a proctologist there because they offer laser treatment and in the UK it's quite mediaeval, they have no laser treatment options for minor hemorrhoids or fissure
@@sagartripti Sorry Tripti to here that, I hope you can find some relief very soon.Bdw why did you get your skin tag removed?? Was it causing you problems?? I also have a skin tag and was thinking of removing it. I also have grade 1 haemorrhoids and causing me much problem let's see what happens..
Do you have a new laser therapy that covers all hemorrhoid stages? Or is this only for early-onset? As a long-time quadriplegic that really looks after himself in every way possible they have become debilitating.
Just removed mine because of most these reasons,I was just in pain everyday,scared to eat most things, couldn't go out with friends, I'm on day 10, pain is bearable it just hurts after coming back from the toilet for a few minutes, I'm better than last week though.
Hey Dr, I have had a hemorrhoid surgery Sep 2023 and I still feel the pain .feels like my tail has been cut. The structure is also changed. Will i feel it for lifelong?
At 4:22 Dr Chung, what size is a "small ditzel"? (Pea sized? Raisin sized?) Is the recovery time after removing one that small, easier and faster and a little less painful to deal with for the patient than removing a large one?
Hello...just a quick question what is your opinion on using collinsonia root for hemorrhoids? I've seen other colorectal docs on RUclips highly recommend it as well as people on Amazon who have tried it. Thanks in advance!
I take Collinsonia and citrus flavonoids. My hemerroids were very mild and these antioxidants helped. I would recommend them along with the other recommendations such as fiber and keeping your stool soft. There’s still a lot of ongoing research so don’t expect doctors to be handing out recommendations anytime soon. Just try it and see how they work for you.
What did you think about removal in patients with the connective tissue disorder, Ehlers Danlos syndrome (hyper mobile type) I have been dealing with internal, prolapsed and extra hemorrhoids for over three years. It is interfering with my life
So glad I found you. I have been recommend to have an internal hem and large anal skin tag removed. It bleeds after about 30% of bowel movements. But otherwise it does not bother me. But the blood realy worries me. I am now really worried about the recovery as it is meant to be very painful. I am now thinking I should live with them? Any idea?
What about the less invasive option of hemorrhoid embolization? How common is this procedure and who would be a candidate? It seems like a fairly new procedure not likely to be available at an HMO like Kaiser where I have my coverage, should I even ask?
Can this pranicura not be sold in pharmacies since it look helpful in all countries please since I'm also suffering from this I have all medicine but nothing worked for me
@@pearlkally8325 Preparation H claims to soothe and reduce the irritated hemorrhoidal tissue. In my opinion, it doesn’t make a difference. Witch hazel would be a cheaper option. Calmoseptine acts as a barrier and reduces the irritation. I used it during a particularly bad flare up along with citrus flavonoids and highly recommend it.
Good question. All I’ll say is that caffeine, omega 3 oils, and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs made mine worse. Hemorrhoids are just blood vessels so anything that affects circulation could irritate them 🤷♂️
That cream HE mentioned is quite expensive for me , but I bought another cream HADENSA because it has menthol..menthol gives great relief from the ITCHING
Hello Dr. Chung. I see you mentioned intimacy. So how would external hemorrhoids affect anal sex? Im a homosexual male and dont want my hemorroid to cause sexual intimacy to become impossible. Would I need surgery removal for this? It is a big concern.
I have a question so I never noticed I had a hemorrhoid till last week and it has started turning purple and I’ve been using cream it’s external and I don’t have curtain money to reach surgery and I always noticed it but it started flaring up recently which has become a huge announce time in my day to day and idk if I should let it heal on its own for a month and see where I’m at or try to reach out to my insurance company for surgery
If you are a male, here's a few more reasons to get your hemorrhoids treated. Hemorrhoids can cause impotence, as well as interfere with blood flow to the penis and testicles. You may experience discomfort or pain around your genital urinary tract, as well as your lower abdomen. Also, don't be surprised if you develop cardiac problems like tachycardia or abnormal heart rhythms, which could land you in the ER. Enjoy your hemorrhoids. I know I do because mine won't let me forget them. AHAHAHA LOL
Ok doc.. i got this cream (pranicura) it came in the 3rd week of a crazy internal flare 3 weeks of bleeding ,usually my first poop of the day and a fair ammount of it.. I was using prep h and i used anusol… no hope !! I used the cream 2 days later the bleeding stoped!!!! Now is this a complete coincidence? If it was the cream? How did it stop internal bleeding putting it on the outside of my anus?? This was my second flare up in my life before the first bleed i had crazy itching the day before.. now it stoped should i have mine taking out??
Hi, i have an inflamed toe for a year. I was diagnosed with ingrown toenail and infection and was prescribed antibiotics and cream, bur an X-ray results says- «A tiny calcific density on the dorsal aspect of the distal phalanx, likely debris. Correlate with clinical picture. No acute osseous abnormality.»How can it be treated?
Had my fistulectomy today 😮 The pain is in the dressing part which I need to continue for 2 weeks....do you suggest patients to put gauze soaked in betadine up their asshole as dressing for 2 weeks sir? Edit: 😂 not today but yesterday...lost sense of time lol

Try keto diet it will work with itching @roadhouse_blues8081

This is your BEST video by far!!!!

Eating lots of green vegetables may help to reduce number of issues over time and their severity.
I found eating oranges or citrus fruits to be very beneficial. Lots of good antioxidants in those fruits particularly in the rind.

External flare up can freak anyone out. So glad to have found you when it happened to me cause Online info is mostly scary! You were a calming energy amongst a sea of CrAzY business. Thx Dr Chung
Dr Chung, you are my only hope for relevant advice. What can be done for rectal prolapse? Thank you.
Also want to know..
Great Videos as always.
Doc can you please make a video on rubber banding please… would be very grateful..thanks

@@rosea7238 thank you ...I often wondered about "rubberbandinga' as a moe natural & shorter method to healing
Never hear this mentioned

I would also like it if you could do a short video on "rubber banding" I know nothing about it ...only have heard it mentioned somewhere in the past...

Could you possibly do a video about HET therapy? I'd love more information from someone trustworthy.
Thank you
Hi DR Chung thanks for the useful information.
Could you please tell us what would be the reasons to not have surgery .
The surgeon I went to also told me he couldn't remove them all and I would have hemmoroids for the rest of my life. Please tell me this isn't true
I had a banding. Turns out no hemorrhoids just tons of extra skin. Had a monometry done. Every time I sit down it feels like my guts are coming out. Now I wait for answers that will hopefully come next week. Over a year I thought I had hemorrhoids. Now I have no clue. Rectal prolapse was taken off the table.
Thank you Doctor I actually have a few of those reasons. If my Doctor offers banding I am coming to you.
I'm thinking of removal because it's impacting my everyday life and also I'm worried if I'm gonna get pregnant it's gonna get worse during those days
don't get pregnant. world is too hard and it is very selfish to bring children into this world. AI and the collapse of the dollar. Are you serious?

Did you have laser? What stages is laser used for?
Hey Dr,
I have had a hemorrhoid surgery Sep 2023 and I still feel the pain .feels like my tail has been cut. The structure is also changed. Will i feel it for lifelong?
