Hello Ladies,
My problem is constipation with hemorrhoids. I'm 54 almost 55 and it has been 1 year this month since I had a period. I take no medication for menopause
I have always been regular. I have my morning coffee and go. I now occasionally get constipated. Today was so bad I almost went to the ER. It was like a baby wanting to come out. Because of my hemorrhoids it feels like I have glass coming out, and I don't want to go. I don't want constipation to be a normally thing, as I don't think my hemorrhoids will be able to take it.
I went to my GP for my yearly . I told her about the hemorrhoids, not the constipation because it is only been occasionally. She gave me general advice, like don't strain, gentle wiping, etc.
Is anyone else having similar issue, not from taking HRT's? If so any advice that may help loosing BM's and help hemorrhoids would be appreciated.
And yes I do drink a lot of water most days. I also eat a lot of veggies as well.
