Seymour Wells has suffered
from hemorrhoids.He understands the
attitude of many sufferers who do not want to discuss this affliction
because they feel embarrassed or think that their friends might think
less of anyone who develops this actually very common ailment.
They probably don’t realize
that many of the people they know well either have hemorrhoids or may
have suffered themselves at some time in their lives.
Many people don’t like to
even discuss the ailment with their Doctor because of embarrassment or
fear of the treatment which they might have to undergo.
But, Seymour says that a
full discussion with your medical advisor is the first and most
important step in minimizing the pain and other effects of hemorrhoids.
It also is the first step to recovery.
He says that we must ignore
the myths and rumors about hemorrhoids and “secret” hemorrhoid cures
because there is currently no specific cure.
But, many patients can look
forward to a full recovery from hemorrhoids and the prognosis is
improving as new drugs and procedures are developed and tested.
Seymour has tried
to give a broad picture of the current state of hemorrhoid treatment
and the best methods of coping with their effects.
He has also included
information about some natural methods but emphasizes that no-one
should self-medicate without first consulting their Doctor.
