I wanted a bit of advice for those of you who have had hemmaroids (sp?). Do I actually need to get them checked by a doctor or just treat them as they come. They only occur if I have a firm stool which is very very rare. So maybe once a year they flair up. After having children was the culprit of having the hemmaroids. Any thoughts or should I be concerned?

I have had these buggers for years. I didnt have any real issues until I was pregnant when they started to bleed. They didnt itch & werent painful, but I wanted to make sure the blood was from them.

It was!

I remember through the years when rectal thermometers were used that comments were made about mine. Now it could be that I dont know how my butt is suppose to feel without them LOL or it could be they arent a problem.

When I went to the GI doctor when I was pregnant he said that he could remove them, but unless they are painful etc that he doesnt recommend it. He found that the CF patients he dealt with regarding this had them return.

I still get bleeding ones. Its a nuisance at times. It was so bad one time that when I passed gass it looked like I got my period in my underwear! TMI? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

Yeah, I get them and it's not painful but they itch. The first time I was ever told that I had them is when I was pregnant. I was told the same thing, that unless they are painful and causing a lot of problems, they won't remove them.

I know that there are creams and stuff that are OTC to help with the itching and sutff but I don't know the names of them. ou can just go to a pharmacy or whatever and look for them.
