After a heavy night drinking I would wake up with a pile, and it would last a day or two and fought nothing of it, since I did two heavy night in a row I have had one big one pop up which has lasted a week so far, and two small ones that disappeared after a day or two, I originally thought the problem was sex related as it was normally the morning after, maybe something to do with tensing,but on this occasion I didn't stay round the girlfriends house so I've come to the conclusion of alcohol. Not sure if I should be worried or see a doctor as they normally go away. Could it be alcohol or stress related?

My 17 year old son had banding treatment about 7 weeks ago for his piles since then i have been back + forth to the g.p + hospital as his condition has worsened. His itching has gone a little better but the bleeding is more intense than ever we were told he should start feeling better after a couple of weeks not worse. He is very depressed with this and i don't know waht to do for him. The hospital said they may have to do the operation again but there is no way he will have it done again. Please help I'm at my whits end.

Best cure and remedy ever would be cheap and the best zambug... Apply a little twice a day and continue until it disappears. This is a guarantee and it costs R5. remember that this is the oldest remedy and it works..."
