Laser treatment for hAemorrhoids

joec26

Hi. Am young man plagued with haemorrhoids. Dont want surgery and have seen laser advertised in Ireland. Has anyone had this treatment or know anyone who has? J

Possibly the wrong place to be looking.

Have you been sorted or is the problem still ongoing?

Laser - I don't know but would not fancy it.

Piles are common although very few admit to ever having them.

I know a few who saw benefit as in their H'roids went away after they were taking a simple prebiotic/fiber product which was a big surprise.

If it works who cares - just to add these people were pushing the H'roid back in (exactly - not pleasant) but they kept popping back out - so not sure what the fibre did as all were regular but the hroid(s) went away within a month etc.

Anyway worth a shot imo before going for laser as is swapping toilet paper for those wet wipes.

I will be honest swapping toilet paper for wet wipes worked well for me.

Along with cutting white bread from my diet completely and only eating small amounts of wholegrain bread. As the diet change helped me ehhh go more regular and more solid stools.

I wasn't surprised that there wasn't more threads about hems on here because most sufferers are too embarrassed. However, I have suffered for years and ended up with Grade 4 - the worst kind.
All consultants advised strongly against surgery - which i found strange but well advised!
There is a new treatment called THD which is currently being performed by one man in Dublin. I've had it last Tuesday - as a day case and so far have to say it's been a success.
This treatment is relatively new (5 years) and has a high success rate (>90%) of full recovery. Post op is a bit sore but this is managed with paracetamol and gentle laxitives...Today Sunday I feel great, normality is returning and I'm back running on the roads tomorrow.

I wonder should I post a thread on the subject?

I'll start a new thread but in the meantime here's a link to the treatment as given in the UK.http://www.thdlab.co.uk/

Have you tried wiping your arse thoroughly after you have a ****e? Excess excrement can swamp ass or piles.

Over 50% of people have the beasties but most suffer in silence for years. Absolutely agree that hygiene is essential - I normally washed thoroughly and that didn't prevent them.
There are many causes - genetic disposition, wrong diet, lack of exercise, stress, seated too long at work, constipation, diahorrea, overweight and above all the way in which western civilisation uses a bowl to go to the toilet when humans are designed to go in a squatting position.

I believe this falls under medical advice, which isn't allowed. Thread locked.
