Dude, every time I run a cycle I get hemorrhoids, particularly during PCT (except the last time when I took precautions). I have run Bold, Epi, P-Plex, H-Drol and each time it happens. My ass doctor tells me it is the PH's drying out my system out. If you are prone to hemorrhoids you have to up your water intake massively while on cycle. On two occasions my external hemorrhoids have gotten so bad I got a prolapsed colon (imagine your ass turning inside out...). I just go to my ass doctor and he cuts them out with a local. It sounds worse than it is - and you get some Oxy so not all bad (lol). Although external hemorrhoids are easier to cut out than internal ones. If the doctor tells you "I cant cut them out because that can cause fishering" find a new doctor. The first time this happened the doctor said that and I was off work for 3 weeks high on painkillers sitting in a bathtub and nothing got better. So I went to a new doc, who cut them out on the spot and I was back at work and fine in 2 days.
I'll tell you what works way better than those hemorrhoid wet wipes. Witch Hazel. It is a liquid and you can get it from the pharmacy for a few bucks. After you take a dump soak some of those circle cotton pads in it and jam them inside your but cheeks. Every time you dump, from the first day you are on cycle to the last day of PCT, even before you have a problem, do this. It will stop an external hemorrhoid popping up and helps internal ones that are not too deep, as some of the witch hazel will get up there.
If it is too late, just go to the doctor. You will feel so much better once it is cut out. Trust me.
The other thing, which I am sure you know is don't push. Every morning I make a fruit shake. (no protein powder at all as that can dry you out. Go buy some frozen fruit (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries). Put half a cup of each in a blender, add a banana and an egg or two. Add enough skim milk to help it blend then blend it up. Tastes great and you'll take a dump in half an hour and it will be easy. Plus you just loaded up on naturally good stuff and plenty of natural protein. Save the protein shake until after you have taken your dump, it will give you body more time to deal with it.
I am about to start another Epi cycle. I never start a cycle now without Clomid and Witch Hazel (lol).
You are right, this is very common. The first time this happened to me I was on a bachellor party in the Dominican with 15 buddies. I got hemorrhoid so bad my colon prolapsed and I ended up in a Dominican hospital and had a painful flight back to NY early. (As an aside don't trust American Express insurance to fly you back - that is a scam..!) Naturally my buddies thought it was hilarious and it wasn't kept a secret. But since then so many of my buddies and people that heard about the incident have called me and said "dude, remember the Dominican, I think that is happening to me, what do I do?" So yeah it is super common.
..... But yea i agree with (prld2gr8ns) on this one. that would be my guess!
