Captain: Can I ask what is the brand of detergent that you use? How long did they stay shrunk for? You are the first one he has run across who seems to have a degree of success, so he's very curious. Do you know of an herbal supplement that you would recommend? He'll take any information you are willing to give! Thank you so much...
i use strong dish detergent in the shower and found that it shrinks a hemorrhoid on contact . im guessing the detergent has a high lye content . its worked for me for years . i lift heavy things too ..
Thank you for your responses. It's becoming evident that he will not be able to avoid surgery after all... be it the knife or the rubber band. I've heard of that, and I think it is clever. I did that once to a wart that had grown quite large on my chest and I succeeded in making it fall off. However, another/it grew right back, though not as large. I hope that wouldn't be the case for the hemorrhoid. Glad the wagon is gone.... ha ha!
My husband had hemorrhoids he had to carry around in a little wagon.
He refused to have surgery. I didn't press him until he stopped wanting to be on his feet. (They prolapsed which became exquisitely painful.) Then I began nagging him. I'd read an article in Reader's Digest mentioning a doctor at Loyola University Hospital who performed "rubber band surgery" on an outpatient basis. (That's not what it's called -- that's what I call it.)
Don't know how it is now, but standard surgery at that time was a 6-week recuperation. He made an appointment with this Dr. Bartisol (I won't forget his name.) and within ten weeks he was completely cured.
He'd go once a week and, as I understand it, the doctor would band a small section of each hemorrhoid that cut off its blood supply, and it would (for lack of a better word) fall off.
He never had another problem. He did a great deal of lifting -- heavy boxes. We owned a printing company.

He even sold the wagon.
