Avatar f tn Hello, Treatment for hemorrhoids would depend on the kind and severity of one’s symptoms. If the hemorrhoids are still small and do not cause any problems, oral medications and an ointment applied on them would be helpful. Having a high fiber diet and increasing water intake would also help. However, if the hemorrhoids are already thrombosed, resulting in bleeding, enlargement, pain, and difficulty in moving the bowels, surgical excision would be the best treatment.

Avatar f tn I also have panhypopituitarism. I have been on 5mg of prednisone since my dx in 96. I have been doing some research and am interested in finding out more about constant subcutaneous infusion of hydrocortisone. My days start off OK but by 5pm I am very fatigued.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I'm trying canasa suppositories, prednisone, oatmeal, lidocaine gel, tyenol and drinking water I've been getting this pinpoint rash all over my body, is that a sign of sepsis or toxins leaking into my whole body?

Avatar f tn I have had tinnitus and vertigo for many years. 7 years ago I was put on prednisone for myalgia pain. My pain went away but it had no affect on my hearing. It did affect my belly....it bloated out like a pregnant woman...lol...I got off prednisone back in january of this year. If you can avoid it then avoid it. If you need it for other reasons and not for hearing then I guess you have to continue taking it until it does not good for you.
Avatar m tn Hello, These symptoms can be due to hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are varicosities and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. They are caused and increased by increased straining during bowel movements, by constipation or diarrhea, hypertension, obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine and portal hypertension. Symptoms of external hemorrhoids may include painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus which may itch. Get it checked and proctoscopy done by a surgeon.
Avatar m tn They are flat, but width is about the width of a ruler. I beieve I have hemorrhoids, can they cause thin/flat stool? Sometimes I occasionally have thicker/more normal sized stools. Could this be cancer? Not likely?
1580703 tn?1651904887 thanks for any advice! I've been prescribed prednisone for 1 month at 10mg/day and heard that it can be bad for the liver and cause adrenal damage. Is this true?
Avatar f tn The most common conditions for this condition are hemorrhoids and diverticulitis, especially if you are constipated or have been straining during bowel movement. Eat a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of fluids. Also, have this checked by your doctor or be referred to a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn thanks for the response i'll get some prep H, i have never had hemmorrhoids or anal fissures up to this point in my life. How long does it take for ethier of these two problems to go away with prep.H.
15404118 tn?1440457263 I think they are "skin tags" not hemorrhoids. you can have them removed for hygiene and insurance will pay.
Avatar f tn I went to Doctor today and he put me on prednisone for the week. I am supposed to do 40mg for 2 days, 30 for 2 days, 20 for 2 days, and 1 for 2 days. I took my first dose today and wonder how long it takes for it to work? I still don't feel great which could also be the cold I suppose. Who gets a cold in the summer anyway? Awful.
Avatar f tn Hopefully not. Prednisone, by the way, is a steroid. It reduces the inflammation and selling and that's why they gave it to you. It's not an antibiotic that works on bacteria or anything. Take your current medication as directed. Why do they think you are getting so many sore throats that are not viral?
Avatar n tn my 9 year old dog has been on prednisone for 6 weeks for ITP and we are weaning her off now.
