Every time I have an issue “down-under” I do a search on your channel and I’m so relieved and more educated!!! You are awesome ❤

Cold water on my toiletpaper works, when sitting on the drone, it calms the inflammation enough to poop!
When in bed, use a warm wheatbag.
Works for me everytime!

Holy cow, this video is like a crash course in hemorrhoids. Thank you very much.

[jesseyhoffman]

Fantastic explanation on what a hemorrhoid is. I kept hearing false information. Thank you for making this video!

God bless you, for all the knowledge you’ve acquired and your kindness to share it and change the lives of those in need. Thankyou, thankyou and thankyou. Just listening to you is soothing and reading the comments of others makes me feel I’m not alone. Im an introvert. Don’t have insurance and don’t like doctors office or hospitals so kind of alone until I found your page. Sometimes I think it’s just easier to die. Life’s so hard. But I’m taking collinsonia root and drinking more water usually happens when I strain or lift something heavy. Thankyou again.

Dr. Chung helping people all over the world. Thanks from Australia

[yayaraft]

Thanks a lot!
I was so confused, no doctor I met troubled a bit to explain 2% of what you doing for me :'(

Hot worked for me. One day I had a flare and had troubles sitting/walking. I mixed almond oil with a little pure cayenne tincture and applied externally. I never had issues like this again. 30mins after I was able to finally walk and sit. I was still get some sharp pains but nothing like before. I did this 2x/day (followed by other best practices) and this being my 5th day, I feel like I'm nearly back to normal. I'm determined that this is the last time I'm gone to have another flare. I'll continue taking care of my diet. Not being able to walk/sit was scary and I'm glad cayenne was able to help with blood flow

[mercedesvargas]

Your such a good Dr . Your so patient explaining. You would surely be such an awesome Therapist / mentally ❤ Thank You for all your explanation

[minkademko]

Good advice, and good explanations of what's going on with blood flow.

[xeintormisremando]

Ive been suffering w/ this specially after constipation but what works for me is putting luke warm water or depends how much you tolerate put in a wide basin can add salt since it contains anti bacterial properties or plane warm water will do and soak ur A down there for about 5minutes u may do it slowly at first dip and trust me its very comforting, it helps to relax ur tissue . Really works for me but i broke couple of basin already hahhaha

[jamesbrink]

Awesome info. Especially for someone like me with crohns and has gone through hemroid surgery and still has issues with hemroids because of crohns. Thanks for videos 😀👍

[Christandnature]

Friendly tip lay on your left side to help, something about the location of the hemorrhoid vein flow or something. It helps me, could help you. Good luck my friend . Try it out god bless.

[mfcmxtt]

yes! my haemorrhoid IS 'busting at the seam' lol 😂

guys i completly healed from hemoroids alhamdulilah (stage 0-1) : these are the things that helped me out 1) grape seeds supplementary diets 2) fiber supplementary diet (a take them daily )

[bob.bobman]

Dr. Albert surely one or the other must be better in terms of thrombosed hemorrhoids breaking down and clearing out? I thought in general it was understood that heat relaxes\loosens muscles and promotes more blood flow where cold constricts muscles and pushes blood out. Hence why professional arm wrestlers ice their arms between rounds so they don't get inflamed from the blood pressure. So which would you recommend for speeding up blood clot breakdown and reabsorption which should theoretically reduce swelling as well as a result? Thank you!

[frankharb]

Ho Dr. You've mentioned on this video that you may be able to make individual recommendations. I I've had hemorrhoids problems for the past 25+ years. I've delt with out with fiber supplements and over the counter creams. Now however, I feel like they appear larger than usual and they are not responding too well to over the counter creams and ointments. Two risk factors I belive apply to me. I've been lifting weights since I was 17 years old and I tend to stress out often. Is there a way that I can send you a clear photo of my current flar of hemorrhoids so you can provide high level insights on it?. I don't consider this a medical advise just your thoughts. How can I get that picture to you?.

Thanks,

Frank
