Hemorrhoids II

[kailee]

@kailee - sis are you using faktu ointment continuously until now? ok ba un lactulose syrup? san po nakakabili nun...thanks so much...

@doc_she - does birth control pills affect on hemorrhoids such as althea? thanks  po...

sorry sis, now ko lang nabasa tong thread. yung faktu, di na ako gumagamit, mag 3 weeks na.. one and a half month na ako magaling. bali, it means, kahit magaling na ko, i still used faktu ointment for a couple of weeks.. ok yung lactulose, duphalac sya, stool softener. sa mercury meron, idk kung hahanapan ka ng prescription though..

Hi Doc She, I'm Kristine, the one who consulted you a couple of weeks ago. Thanks po ulit. Our trip all the way from Laguna (though from San Pedro lang naman hehe) to Greenhills was super worth it.

Girls, if you have concerns on hemorrhoids and if you're near the area lang din naman, don't hesitate to consult with Doc She. Basta, all I can say is she's one of the nicest doctors I've consulted with. I appreciate her taking few minutes to give 'lectures' and tips and most importantly, her genuine concern for her patients. Unlike some docs na peperahan ka lang. Hehe. Went to her because of my hemo concern, but she insisted to also check my breasts para sulit na ang punta ko kasi nandun na din naman ako. Haha.

Thanks again, Doc. Will definitely make it a habit to pay a visit to your clinic for an annual checkup. More power to you!

Doc She: Can you PM me your clinic adress and skeds too. By the way what are the OTC meds you can recommend safe to pregnant with hemo? sobrang sakit kasi now.

^^sis gelei, preggy ka rin?? kung ganun, same tayo. hehe. I did a little research about hemorrhoids, then I came accross this site


http://www.preph.com/hemorrhoid_information/hemorrhoid_treatment.asp


http://www.preparationh.com/hemorrhoid_medications/index.asp


naresearched ko rin safe sya for preggos. kaya lang, wala pa yatang available nyan dito sa Pinas kaya kung may reatives/friends ka sa US or Canada, pabili ka na lang.


Meron din pala sa ebay. I hope it helps

[slovy]

^sorry sis pero I dont know lang kung same. try to ask na lang siguro sa mercury kung pareho lang ba. ako kasi nagpabili lang sa sil ko sa US, inaantay ko pa.

Conp- hi Kristine! Thanks for the kind words! See you next check up!take care!

[DocShe_713]

Mzz angel- what do you mean by laser? Is it the infrared? Pls clarify? If that's the infrared then it's only useful for early grade hemorrhoids.

[DocShe_713]

Gelai- try doing hot sitz bath. Immerse your buttocks in warm water for 15 mins 2-3x a day.

[angelbabe]

im reguLarLy taking LactuLose, otc sya... pero feeLing ko hindi naman effective kase maswerte na kung maka'3x a week ako ng poop... tapos Last poop ko nung friday pa,and parang mas Lumaki yung hemo ko and medyo parang itchy na masakit and swelling sya taLaga... yung faktu ba mga sis eh otc din?.. and how much sya?...

[DocShe_713]

Just want to ask what's the dose you are taking for Lactulose? The faktu is not for constipation it's for the inflammation.of your hemorrhoids. Have you tried doing the hot sitz bath?

[angelbabe]

10mL po 3x a day ginagawa ko... i've tried hot sitz bath po 2x na today and pLano ko na po yun gawin araw'araw hanggang may makita akong improvement... yung faktu po ba,otc po ba [textspeak!]?.. natatakot po kase ako baka bumagsak ako sa physicaL exam ko eh kaya nag'browse ako dito sa gt ng soLution sa probLem ko...

[DocShe_713]

Angel babe- regarding the physical exam of your company, different company have different set standards regarding the grading of the hemorrhoids. Some would require you to have surgery even for early hemorrhoids while others if surgery is still not indicated, you may get a clearance from a surgeon. Who prescribed you Lactulose 3x a day? Usually it's taken in the evening and your dose is not correct.

@Kailee..sis thanks...i will try to eat more veggies and less meat...sori po ngayon lang me nakareply... 

@doc she...accredited po ba kayo ng maxicare sa Clinica Manila...thanks po...

[angelbabe]

awwww... my friend who is a nurse lang po nag'suggest saken to take lactulose... 

[angelbabe]

docshe, pa'pm naman po ng clinic and schedule nyo... bf is pushing me hard to visit you,i told him about this thread and about you kase...
takot po kase talaga ako magpa'checkup kaya i always end up self medicating... but bf is completely mad na when i told him na posible pala maoperahan pag may hemo...

[DocShe_713]

Pmed you already. Remember not all hemorrhoids need surgery. Take care.

[rumplehuey]

I also had Hemorrhoidectomy  by DocShe. She's really nice. Kaya wag kayong matakot if ever may hemorrhoid kayo at namomroblema kayo...

Anyway, after my surgery nagkaron pa ulet ako ng hemorrhoids because sometimes nagiging constipated ako.This happened over a year after ng surgery. I didn't have it examined kasi nawawala naman din sya kapag nagiging regular yung bowel movement ko. One day, I decided to be a vegetarian. (semi-vegan because SOMETIMES I still eat fish), I noticed a big change in my bowel movement. Tapos nabawasan ang hemorrhoids ko. Before kasi every time I poo medyo nagbebleed sya. Nung hindi na ako kumakain ng red meat nawala na ng tuluyan. Malaking ginhawa talaga sa akin. I no longer eat red meat and my bowel movement is very regular at nawala na ang hems.

hi doc she.. i need your advice po sana. last 2 years po yata yun nagpacheckup nako sa doctor kasi may konting blood sa stool and may fresh blood when i wipe it with tissue. i remembered he prescribed me daflon and faktu. after that gumaling naman po. but then just yesterday po may fresh blood na naman when i wipe it with tissue, parang nasugatan when i pooped kasi meyo mahapdi siya ng konti. ayoko na sana magpacheck up ulit. can i do something about it po on my own nalang para di nako pumunta sa doctor? thanks in advance po..

add ko lang po doc she, wala naman ako nakakapa na something, wala naman masakit lalo when i poop, its just that mahapdi lang dahil siguro sa sugat tsaka may streaks of blood when i wipe with tissue..
