Has anyone had issues with hemorrhoids fro mLyme treatment?
I eat very well, about 50 grams or more of fiber a day with lots of water, bowel movements are easy. So, then I develop a nasty hemorrhoid this week. I start reading that liver disease can cause pressure on these veins resulting in hemorrhoids. So, could this be due to something wrong with my liver as a result of the Mepron and antibiotics?
My doctor sends me for liver function tests but I read that the standard blood tests for liver function are not the best method! So, now what...
Anyone run into any of this or am I the first here?
Thanks for listening.

I too have had hemorrhoid problems off and on since treatment...nothing really painful, but they did make my butt itch terribly!! Mine were more 'inside' the anus...
I freaked out the first time,and did all this research..but didn't come to any certain conclusion...
went to the doc here (not my LLMD) and they were gone by the time I got in...
I too eat very well, and take fiber daily...it was not a constipation thing at all...
My LLMD didn't really have much to say and wasn't really too concerned...they come and go.. a hot epsom salt bath feels good....
I still yet have no idea what causes them...I'd b interested what you find...
Good Luck!

Thanks!
I read spicy food can contribute and I eat lots of spicy food. I also just started to get back into heavier weight lifting since feeling better at times and trying to work around my pain and do what I can. Could have led to the hemorrhoids.
Mine is an external type and is somewhat painful! I have used this natural healing oil in the past called, 'Healing Hemorrhoids' from Natural Helaing Oils and it works! Rather than go see a doctor, I just ordered some and asked if they could fed ex overnight. I had a bad hemorrhoid about 10 years ago and the doctor cut it out - ouch! I don't want to do that again although the numbing was the bad part!
Last time this happened I used the natural oil and it went away. Figures I am out of the stuff.
I am just hoping I am not doing damage by not seeing a doctor right away since if there is significany clotting, an infection can set in.
It has been like this a few days now.
