What did the nurse mean by enlarged colon?
I started having pain several months ago and went on with life as usual. I’m generally healthy, exercise and try to eat right. I finally went to the doctor with this pain and he ordered blood work and a CT scan. After the scan the nurse called and told me that my colon is enlarged and refer-ed me to someone else, whom I’ll see next week. I’m 33, married, three kids and freaking out! If it were cancer something would have shown up in my blood-work, right? What else could be wrong?
Best position to be in when you have hemorrhoids?
I am 22 years old, and i am dealing with hemmorrhoids which have been bothering me for the past year. I have read about a floor kneeling position that is supposed to take the pressure off of the veins and bring some relief. I also know that you need to exercise more when you have this condition. My question is, when your not exercising and am just in general "sitting around" is it better to lay on your side and not sit directly on your butt? Is more bed rest better? What position will bring the most relief?
How does losing weight help the hemorrhoids?
Ok I'm really desperate. I asked this question in other sections. I went to all these sites online that say to lose weight if you want relief from hemorrhoids. I get that you need to exercise to help move your bowels but I still don't understand how losing weight helps the hemmorrhoids? None of these sites explain that. I'm so confused and I already went to the doctor, and I'm just very desperate. Please help.
