Does dilation help hemeroids?

Postby John_C on Sun Jan 31, 2010 8:11 am

I feel kind of embarrassed even asking this, but I'll give it a shot. I'll try to make this ASAP. After I have a bowel movement and begin wiping I notice a small amount of blood after the first few wipes (very little/no pain). A few minutes after I wipe It does start to kind of burn.-- This has been going on for months, so its not a change in diet.
I was doing a little research and found that dilation can help hemorrhoids (true/false?) So I was wondering if maybe an anal plug (small of course, but enough to "dilate") would actually help relax the sphincter muscle and maybe cure the hemorrhoids?
Opinions?
