Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 How does one know if they have 'roids? Is this just another benefit that arrives on cue with your subsciption to AARP? Or a side effect of the WLS? Since we are discussing gourmet toilets and issues with tissue (TP)I thought this was an appropriate time to inquire. Inquiring minds want to know. D.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 I got mine during my first pregnancy and then it got worse when I gave birth (because of 2 1/2 hours of pushing, from what the doctor said). I had subsequent flare-ups with each pregnancy and birth. I have also noticed that I have problems when I eat certain foods that are irritating, and I've had a lot of problems since my revision. I'm nowhere near AARP age so I know it's not that. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Mine are a result of previously being overweight and having large babies. I don't think the surgery caused it. It is very common in overweight people. Mine do flare up now and again. I think certain foods tend to aggrivate it. I don't believe they ever go away on their own. How does one know? Well, it's hard not to know. They are actually very swollen blood vessels that protrude out. They hurt intensely. It is common but is a sensitive subject. I have never seen a doctor for them but I would if it got to bad or ruptured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 It is not uncommon to get hemorrhoids after anesthesia-induced constipation (the anesthesia shuts down the intestinal motility that it necessary for excretion). You push and push, and the darned things pop out at'cha. That's why it is advisable to take a stool softener and/or fiber supplement (such as FiberCon) after surgery. Even with this precaution, my 'roids decided to pay me a visit after my PS. --Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Roids are varicose veins of the anus and colon. They come from straining and the pooling of blood. Venous blood flows by gravity. If the valves in the veins become imcompetent and are unable to stop the back flow of blood roids are the result. They are often tender, leak blood when you strain making stool and sometimes become infected. Surgery is a possibility. Stool softeners whether over the counter or prunes and a high fiber diet (like oatmeal for breakfast) can help with the softening of stool. , RN > Mine are a result of previously being overweight and having large babies.
