hemorrhoids_need advice

Quoted message said:

My husband is having a very bad flare up of Hemorrhoids. Before we moved he went to the doctor and
got examined to make sure there were no other problems. The Dr. basically said Yep, it's hemorroids
and sent him home. Happily there are no other problems. We also went to a acupuncture college and a
Chinese Herbalist in the west. However there still here, always lurking, and the pain is
debilitating.

I've been all over the internet researching hemorrhoids and see very little about stress. Does any
have any info on this. Seems very relevant to me. When I did a google I got 249k results. Any
suggestions on good sites or how to separate the wheat from the chaff?

What are the latest treatments for hemorrhoids? Years ago my husband heard an NPR (National Public
Radio) show that talked about using antibiotics but I find nothing mentioned about that.

Has anyone had recent luck with acupuncture. Long ago (thirty years) we had a bad bout and found a
doctor who was Western trained and Eastern trained in China. He was fabulous! But alas, deceased.

And by chance does anyone know of a sucessful Proctologist, G.I., or Acupuncturist in the Raleigh
area. We've just moved and know no one. Enough questions for now. Appreciate any help.

Thanks, linda

Contrary to common belief , constant pain is NOT a feature of haemorrhoids. He may have an anal
fissure, or other yet undiagnosed source for the pain. Get him seen by a proctologist. Most causes
of anal pain are easily fixed.

Jeeeezzzz... The next problem is bowel cancer coming to an [censored] near you. Get him off the damn
grains and stop the severe bloating / constipation causing the damn things in the first place. Has
he had trouble swallowing food yet from hiatal hernia acting up or does he just swallow Rolaids by
the bottle so far?

The wheat and the dairy marketting boards love you!

I found that the best place to look for an acupuncturist is on:

Thanks Lisa and Greg for the links. they were very helpful. And thank you Dr Moran. we have an
appointment tomarrow at an integrative clinic and hopefully we'll get the best of both worlds.

....and Mr. Bob! I dare say you're right. Normally we have a very good diet low in dairy and
wheat. However, having just made a very long move we were bad which probably contributed to the
flare up. But your attitude was really uncalled for. Maybe you should have a big glass of warm
milk and calm down.

thanks again to all of you, linda

If your "integrative doctor" does not do a thorough proctological examination, still go and see a
specialist. The diagnosis you will be offering him, that of hemorrhoids, is very suspect. He may
well have them, but have another source for pain..
