Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me.

i got a haemorrhoids condition right now and i'm going diving tomorrow. is it safe for me to diving with a Haemorrhoids problem?

i have already paid up for the trip and i hate to miss it.
but if its dangerous then just too bad i guess

thanks for any help in advance.

cheers

For hemhorroids, I would prescribe hyperbaric treatment -- diving!

I, um, know someone who has dived with the condition more than once with no ill effects.

Have fun,

For external thrombosed hemorrhoids you are dealing with a blood clot that is putting pressure on nerve endings, which as you know cause much discomfort. You will have a swollen area around the anus that is sensitive to the touch, pain sitting, walking, etc.
Best treatment, if this is a true thrombosed hemorroid is to lance it out within 24-48 hours, but you should know you can treat it conservativly too. Over time the body will reabsorb the clot or the skin will break down and expell it naturally. People are told to stay off their feet to keep pressure off the thrombosed hemorroid in order to reduce swelling and discomfort. Being on a dive boat with heavy gear will make that difficult. The conservative approach varies from each individual but will improve each day. If the pain doesn't get better go to your Doc! There is skin around the anus and anything that dermatologically happens around the body can happen there too! If the pain is persistent dont sit on it (pun intended..sorry) hoping it goes away, get it checked out! Hope this helps, Have fun if you dive!

Go diving. Be careful. See your doc. You'll be fine.
