Can a hernia effect your bowel movements or cause constipation?
i have a low groin hernia that is pretty bad and i am getting surgery on it soon. Lately i have had really hard bowel movements in the shape of balls or circles , and they are really painful i have never had a problem in my life with this and have a ton of fiber in my diet. Could the hernia be causing this problem?
How long does it take for hemorrhoids to clear?
I have a small hemorrhoid and it isn't too bothersome, just itchy. I just diagnosed it as a hemorrhoid today so I've taken the following precautions-i don't wipe(i rinse in the shower afterwards), plan to eat more fiber, and I'm using preparation H. Will it take more than a week or 2 to clear up? Also, with preparation H should I apply it after every bowel movement? And last….do most people consider hemorrhoids to be embarrasing like how people consider having diarrhea embarrasing?
