Serious question. I asked in another video but it's old and not sure you'd see it. I have no pain or itching luckily, but I have had for years, swollen, thrombosed hemorrhoids all around my anus (dark purple lumps) and internal hemorrhoids. Does pranicura make these go away and, have you ever heard of a product called "healing bottoms"? I've been contemplating purchasing pranicura, and or healing bottoms kit #2 in hopes one will make these go away Could you do a video on your thoughts of this healing bottoms product?

Whenever I do get a spasm now, which is infrequent compared to 6 months ago, I stop what I’m doing and evaluate my mood, what’s going on, etc. it really helps me gain some control over it all. 😊

Thank you Dr. Chung for this info. I’m 69 and started getting this about 35 years ago. At that time there was barely any info out there and you are right, the GP wasn't alot of help other than to say many people got it. As I look back it definitely was extremely painful at the highest stress times of my life and if I pushed too hard either walking or a workout. Now retired and they had calmed down and got them maybe once a month and more mild than in the past. They have just started much more over the last few weeks though. And I’ve had skinny stools too, although have no problem going every day. Only different thing for me now is I am walking much more and faster and pushing hard to walk longer more than normal right now, The spasm will wake me from a deep sleep. But I wanted to share with you something that helped me a great deal. All the things you talked about worked well for me. However, if I can catch it right at that point when I get that feeling of the spasm just starting, I take a few puffs of a ventolin puffer, get off my feet and try to put my feet up, or better is laying down on my back knees up and deep breath while mentally focusing on pelvic relaxation. I read this tip probably 20 years ago on a site I believe from Europe. It definitely helps . Also extreme foul gas comes out too. The good thing about this spasm is once it’s done it goes away fast, which is definitely great! Thank you again!

I’ve suffered from issues for years due to being on pain medication due to a tumor in my spine. So I’ve had a constant struggle with slower digestion, then I started have hardening of 💩 which led to me getting strong anal spasms, the hemorrhoids, then fissures. As a gay man this was extremely difficult for me personally and in relationship. This year I have been using the slow dilation technique by use of slowly increasing size width!

Thank you Dr. Chung!!! I was diagnosed with Levator Ani Syndrome 6 months ago and I have gotten more information, education, and HOPE from your videos than from my proctologist and physiatrist. I went to my proctologist 6 months ago to schedule surgery for grade 3 hemorrhoids, after the checkup the Dr. told me I had LAS and that he would not do the surgery because “I would be miserable with pain the rest of my life” but he didn’t explained why this would be the case. It would be great if you can do a video expanding on how to deal with these 2 conditions concurrently and if in fact surgery for hemorrhoids is contraindicated for patients dealing with Levator Ani Syndrome (which btw my doctor told me it is an incurable condition). Again thank you so much for these videos!

A glass container with a little DMSO; add aloe gel if you like; add comfrey oil as main ingredient so it’s about 3x amount of what you used for DMSO & aloe gel. Dab it with a cotton ball & apply to your source of pain. You should feel a relaxation response. Look more into DMSO & comfrey. Can’t be near plastic or chemicals as it drives anything it touches into the bloodstream. But it’s an old anti inflammatory & relaxant. Comfrey heals tissues & fractured bones.

People tend to be looking for an "instant fix" when they have an issue, and surgery can sound like the answer. But if you have a procedure, you will still have to go through recovery and physiotherapy, which can take a long time. It doesn't make sense to me why people wouldn't try physio first and avoid the expensive, painful and inconvenient surgery. You're going to get to the physio either way! Just knowing that there are pelvic floor specialists really helps. It might not occur to people to look for this specialty. The other problem might be convincing your insurance to cover it.

Hello. I am having a lot of pain from a fissure ( I believe) and am wondering if it is normal to have pain by tail bone as well. I had a fissure 17 years ago that needed surgery and minor ones that have "healed" on their own intermittently ( 1 or 2 time a year) but now I have something that feels like a fissure, inflamed sore anus but also pain in tailbone and occasionally pain that radiates to left leg with the pain. Wondering if this is normal with a fissure.

Have had problems with piles for 30+ years, always just suffering in silence, because of things I was told when speaking out about it. Piles got worse and multiplied, from grade 2 they grew fo 3 and four, but I was holding on. It was when I started getting reoccuring fissures, that the pain and spasms became intolerable. I started seing doctors, one told me he has to do a sphincteractomy, I ran away. Another surgeon looked at me from far, and said I do not have anything, and "it is a women's thing". (Men make over 60% of patients.) Another, private, doctor said my case is too advanced for the procedures he was doing... I have now lost count of how many doctors have had their fingers up my bum 😅 even a simple prescription requires an examination. Going for my second surgery now, first I had HALO, but because of reoccuring haemorrhoids going for a haemorroidectomy. Already suffering from anal spasms, and I am terrified that I will get stenosis 😢... I only wish the very first doctor had knowledge and empathy of you, Dr Chung!

Crazy - Not too sure if this is what I’m fully dealing with. I’ve been having the most issues for 2 months and after seeing my urologist, physician and then a gi doctor Where I got a colonoscopy done and found I have internal hemorrhoids. The pain is the worst when I have to use the bathroom and it first starts to release the bow movement - like the worst pain primarily on one side and makes me dread having to use the bathroom. It’s not till after that the pain scale is so much higher like 5 minutes after using the bathroom and I feel the pain is throbbing and overwhelming for like 30-45 mins smh. It feels like it’s inflamed and swollen inside smh. I’m glad I ran into this video as I have another follow up with the gi, but I feel like it hasn’t been fully understood with what I’m dealing with. They swear to take Metamucil with higher fiber intake, but that seems to cause constipation and then even more pain. Haven’t looked into anything with anal spasms, but I appreciate you for giving me another perspective to help.

For many years I had a diet of just the wrong type of foods, coffee, and soda. As a result I developed internal hemorrhoids, and thrombosed (dark purple lumps) hemorrhoids around the anus. Also fatty liver. All caused daily bloating, discomfort, and constipation. 3 years ago I switched to drinking water only, aside from 1 cup of green tea with ginger, or orange pekoe, black pekoe cut tea in the morning. I also use benefiber/prebiotics, and nature's bounty probiotic each day. I've lost extra weight, bloating is now gone, and passing waste is much smoother, easier. But I still have the internal hemorrhoids and thrombosed (dark purple lumps) hemorrhoids around the exterior of the anus, hoping to resolve these sans surgery. My point here is, your diet is a big factor, especially as you get older. And exercise your bum, as you get older those muscles break down and they are needed for bowel movement.

Dr. Chung mentioned that the thrombosed ones can be painful but only for 2-3 days. It will feel hard to touch. Do you experience it for longer duration?

Hello doctor can scar tissue be fixed by surgery? I am a post op patient, I had undergone fistula surgery two years back but after that my anus feels like it is swollen. Although very minimal pain but i am not able to completely clear my bowels , probably due to the scar that has formed that was diagnosed in colonoscopy post surgery. So is this cure able with few incisions or cuts or surgery?? Please help sir..

Curious to know if anything came of this. I’ve had 2 hemorrhoid surgeries and I have that constant swollen feeling with tight muscles. Wondering if anything can be done for scar tissue

Can these spazams cause increased visits to the bathroom? I'm going about 20-30 times a day. I feel my sphincter tighten. I try to relax and ultimately go. However, it's been over 2 weeks, and it won't stop. I have lost 10 pounds in 15 days. I feel horrible!

Dr. Albert Chung, thank you so much for your videos! I'm now 9 weeks post partum and have been experiencing what I think is an anal fissure. I thought they were only hemorrhoids, but pretty sure it's more than that now! Pain really flared up in the second month PP, but that could have been because I was on more medication in the first month. BM are uncomfortable, but not horrible, however the pain begins to come on within the minutes after the BM, and it can last for hours (2-6). I am solely breastfeeding, and sitting has at times been unbelievably uncomfortable. Even side lying breastfeeding has been difficult - to the point I have to hand off my boy to my partner and go for a sitz bath :( My questions for you are: Does this sound like an anal fissure / spasm to you? And what kind of medication can I take while breastfeeding? I am currently taking two ibuprofen every six hours.

Doc I have a problem since I have hemorides ( 1 year). Since I got them I have to put wet wipes with my finger in my anus to clean it or it will come out cuz the area is a lot of times wet ( no trolling) my question is if my anus is loose or if it isn’t so healthy to do that. Thank u very much.
