I watch your program regularly because you have helped me practice self care and you have prevented me from becoming a nervous wreck over my condition. Thanks so much for using KZfaq as a teaching tool and for offering free expertise to those of us who suffer. Your sense of humor helps, too. God bless you for being a caring physician! If I weren't so old, I'd move across the country so I could be your patient.

Without you and these videos, I would still be a mess. I have had bleeding hems for a very long time and then I got a fissure. Doctors didn’t help me at all. YOU, though, finally explained all the things to me so I understood what was happening. You gave me tools and I was able to heal myself. I was able to finally take control of my situation. I am so much better than I was before. I have found that my diet needs to be concentrated around fresh cooked vegetables and lean proteins. I also need to move everyday at least 5,000 steps. I was also drinking too much water. You taught me to use the Pranicura, sitz baths in my tub with the Revivol-XR, that “fiber” isn’t necessarily the answer, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I never would have thought I would be on the other side of what I was going through a year ago. I’m beyond grateful that you started this channel and that I found it! THANK YOU!!!

You are such a great source of information here on KZfaq on a rather touchy subject! You've explained to me my own issues, my own bottom (haha) health has improved and I find your demeanor extremely educated, humorous, approachable and charming! I had profusely bled once a few years ago, but it was a one-time occurrence, and thought maybe a polyp had ruptured, or hemorrhoid-related, just didn't know, but it ceased so decided to not worry about it, because I don't like doctors who just don't give info, slap an Rx at you when leaving and have no communication skills with their patients. I find you refreshing in your communication, and so grateful you explain so much. May God bless you immensely sir! I thank you for what you do here. It is helping so many.

Hey Dr. Chung. As a person with an anal fistula I really appreciate you taking the time from your family and other things you’d probably rather be doing to educate us on this condition and the possible treatment options. After suffering an unbearable amount of pain from a new fistula channel that wasn’t draining, I had surgery at the VA hospital here in Las Vegas. I was dealing with that ok and scheduled for another surgery, this time to put a bovine plug in the tract and have a flap procedure at the same time. In postoperative recovery I was informed by the resident surgeon that the doctor opened up the tract instead and now I have a pretty large open wound that hast to heal. I wasn’t given very detailed instructions as to how to care for myself to heal as quickly as possible or anything other than instructions to take a sitz bath at least after each bowel movement. I still have control of my bowels so I’m incredibly happy about that. I’m 64 and very active when not in pain. Any recommendations? I had the surgery last Thursday, 4/11.

Hey doctor, I was hoping you could answer me, I’m having a huge problem. I had a cutting seton placed, the first 2 weeks were intense pain, but it’s been 2 months and I still can’t do some exercises like walk too much or just run or take heavy lifts ecc ecc. sometimes it starts to burn out of nowhere and I have to lay down to cool it down. My surgeon found out that there is a new small fistula but he said that the original seton should take care of that too. But I still can’t poo without almost crying and can’t exercise or still seat straight.

Thanks for the info on the sitz bath Dr Albert, I used a sitz bath over the toilet for a while and I think it worsened my hemorrhoids, so I started to sit inside a bucket as a sitz bath and the bucket was rested on the floor. However the bucket isn't to wide and my butt gets stuck in the bucket a little. I am not sure if this good because I have to stoop down and sit in the bucket. I was wondering if I can use warm wet rags instead of the bucket.
