What can I take to relieve Internal Hemmorhoids in my rectum. I had a scope
done and the doc showed me 2 hemmorhoids, up there together, about 5 inches up
my butt. When I go to crap, the 2 damned hemorhoids swell up like small
bladders, and pinch off the rectum. I have great trouble passing intestinal
gas, too, cause they won't allow gas (farts) to vent out. Causes bloating and
much pain.

I have looked at older postings here on the News Groups. I see something about
Cortisone suppository prescriptions, also I see fake promotions for some
Hemmorhoid cream at a huge inflated price. Also, someone suggested applying
Witch Hazel up your anus and into the rectum. It would hard for me to be able
to do this, since the damned hemmorhoids are a good 5 inches up there, just at
the point where the rectum turns left into the sigmoid of the colon.

Any help or ideas would surely be appreciated!

Hemorrhoids are entirely related to the anus and certainly not 5 inches up
there. Hemorrhoids at the rectosigmoid junction are basically impossible. If
there is indeed something in the rectum that far up, it's far more dangerous
than a hemorrhoid and needs to come out immediately. You had better re-check
with your doctor, because if he indeed told you that you had hemorrhoids 5
inches up at the rectosigmoid junction and didn't recommend removal, then
he's an idiot, and you need to see a real doctor to get these colon polyps
removed.

Assuming you have misinterpreted what you saw, their location, and what the
doctor told you, and that you do indeed have prolapsing internal
hemorrhoids, you can treat the problem with astringents like Anusol, witch
hazel, Preparation H, etc as well as mucilage-based stool softeners
(metamucil, citrucel) combined with a lubricant like mineral oil. And spend
as little time on the toilet as possible. Pain is best managed with hot sitz
baths.

Cortisone-containing suppositories or creams might be helpful, and some
Anusol HC suppositories may be helpful.
