Hello
I have spent the last 13years living with piles since the birth of my DS (& subsequent DD). Last month I had the Rafaelo treatment for three internal haemorrhoids which although uncomfortable has dealt with them brilliantly.
What I do have, though, are skin tags externally...from old piles and a couple of thrombosis piles from the op.
My consultant has recommended living with them for a while as surgery to remove them will be very painful.
But my life is just all about the discomfort these things cause. If I have a day without a poo it's great as they don't flare up...but I'm a regular gal and pretty much every morning begins with a BM!
This starts off the discomfort, which gets worse as I move/sit/stand...basically anything except lie on my side. I'm so fed up and low 😔
I know I'm early days post surgery for my internal piles, but has anyone had an experience like this with skin tags? Has homeopathy or anything like that worked?
Please tell me your positive stories as I've read so many frankly frightening things on the web. Thank you in advance for any help you can give to me xx

I’m so sorry you’re suffering this! Don’t worry about embarrassment here! I found myself getting surgery for an anal abscess and fistula, I was mortified!

What I found very soothing was a sitz bath. Honestly, they’re about a tenner on amazon and use them as much as you want in as hot as water as you can stand! It really helps after going to the bathroom. But anytime really. Super soothing.

When stuff down there is off, every part of you feels off.
