9 months ago I had surgery to remove hemorrhoids but now I'm noticing an external hemorrhoid growing again It doesn't hurt but the size keeps increasing My doctor prescribed Smuth cream but it's not helping Is there any way to shrink or get rid of hemorrhoids without another surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable that you're looking for options to manage recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, especially since your current treatment isn't working. While the Smuth cream might offer temporary relief, it's unlikely to shrink the hemorrhoid. Some options to consider without surgery include lifestyle changes, over-the-counter remedies, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.

View allI forced a poop the other day and felt something weird come out besides poop. Now there's this disc-like thing next to my butthole with a dark blue or black spot on it. Pooping hurts now, and my underwear keeps getting mucus stains with a strange smell. Should I be worried? Is this something I need to see a doctor for? Are there specialists for this kind of thing, and could it require surgery? It's embarrassing to talk about in person but I'm not sure what to do
It's understandable to be concerned about these symptoms. The disc-like thing and associated discomfort could be due to a rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or other conditions affecting the rectum and anus. Since you're experiencing pain, mucus, and unusual discharge, it's important to consult a doctor, potentially a colorectal specialist, for proper diagnosis and treatment.
