Piles...

Piles! What piles? Piles! Yes, piles!

You know, the one that you will end up getting if you push too hard while passing motion or your stool is hard due to constipation? Hmm...now...are you getting the picture? if you are still unsure of what I am referring to, get backto me personally and I shall explain it to you...Hahahah...

But, whatever it is, this is topic for today. Why do I suddenly wanna talk about piles? Don't I have anything better to talk about? Well, obviously it's for a reason and that reason is ME!

Uwaa....I just want to pour out my feelings here. I have this lump, known as pile, half-sticking out of my anus! I apologise if this sounds gross but it's something to share, though. It's since Monday night. Surprisingly, I haven't been having constipation nor my stool has been hard lately. In fact, I was having diarrhoea on Monday andthe stool was watery and in fact, I wasn't even trying very hard to push my stool out of the system. So, if it wasn't a hard stool and I wasn't pushing as if I was giving birth, why did the pile come out? Can someone help me out here?

Today is already Wednesday and the stupid lump is still there. Do you know how uncomfortable it can be? I have tried ways and means to push it back in but it keeps slipping out again! Arrgghhh...anyway, thinking back, I started to develop this pile issue ever since I gave birth to Hana. No..I am not blaming anyone here, especially Hana. What I am trying to say is, maybe when I was delivering Hana, I pushed too hard that 3 days after I gave birth to her, I realised that I had problems sitting down properly. So I checked and I discovered that the pile was out! That was my first experience with piles. So, a week after my delivery, I went back to my gynae for a routine post-delivery check-up. I told him about the pile and he prescribed me with a jelly-like medication to apply on the pile so that it woud slip back in. Since then, no more piles till now!

I have heard of people going for surgeries to remove the pile and it's something which is unpleasant 'cos from what they told me, it's difficult to sit on the bum and it's even more torturous when you need to pass motion. Oh God...help me please. Let me out of this misery and I am praying that this pile thingy is just a passing phase which is a part of my pregnancy!

Hey, i had the same problem before and believe me, i know how uncomfortable it will be! even if you don't experience constipation, you might still get that irritating thingy because of your diet (lack of fiber). try not to go for the surgery as the healing takes longer and more painful unless you opt for the more expensive laser removal. watch out for your diet, my advise ... a pack of fybogel a day in the morning and (touchwood) its gone forever!

Hi Edz Gorgor....thanks for the advice....what my gynae gave me was not fybogel...however, i remember getting that from the hospital when I was discharged after delivering my first child. Alright...gonna call my hubby now to ask him to get that pkt of fybogel! Thanks once again!
