Dear Anon: I am sorry you are experiencing so much pain. I have experienced those painful hemorrhoids as a result of two pregnancies. However, I have kept them under control by maintaining a healthy diet high in fiber. It sounds like you have no issues with the eating part, so here is my regiment to treat my hemorrhoids when they flare up:

1. Ruscus Aculeatus (Butcher's broom) extract - 200-300 mg daily. This herb is known for helping reduce inflammation of hemorrhoidal tissue

2. Collinsonia (stone root) - 500mg 3 times daily. It reduces hemorroid swelling

3. Flaxseed oil - 1 to 2 tablespoons daily, besides helping reduce straining, it contains essential fatty acids that promote tissue healing

4. Bioflavonoid complex - 100mg 2-3 times daily, especially rutin and hesperidin which have shown to be effective in treating hemorrhoids, reducing swelling and bleeding.

5. Grape seed extract has anti-inflammatory effects and helps circulation - 100mg twice daily.

6 Aloe-vera juice is healing and soothing to the entire digestive tract. I drink 4 oz daily.

7. Vitamin C strengthens the rectal tissue - 500mg daily at a minimum

I hope these natural suggestions help out. Best of luck!
