PSA hemorrhoids, anal tears and rectal nerve pain - then oil of oregano cure.
Quote | Reply
Here's one long time rider's recent experience.

Rectal nerve pain is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst adversary. A huge problem that I had with it was the amount of time it took to figure out what was really wrong with me.

Have had hemorrhoids in the past. Maybe from sitting, driving, cycling, dehydration and straining. You probably have your cures. Yet, the most interesting cure was given to me in Colombia S.A. Bicboparube and a seed to carry in my pocket. When I went to the pharmacy, I found out that Bicboparube was Vicks vaporub. Kind of warm; yet the seed and Vicks worked.

Then an anal tear happened. There was fissure that was bleeding. Mistook the fissure for a broken hemorrhoid which delayed the healing process because I was trying to cure the wrong thing.

Then I had horrible rectal nerve pain which I mistook as a combination of hemorrhoids/fissures. Tried all kinds of topical relief. None worked well for long and the symptoms got worse. Taking a dump was bad. Two dumps a day - horrendous. Three dumps a day and the rest of the day was in bed incapacitated. Pain like I couldn't fall asleep pain until exhausted.

Finally figured out that all the itching and burning was rectal nerve pain. Considered surgery; but, a long recovery period with so-so results did not impress me.

Went to Dr. Google and came across the Listen To Your Gut site. There were people on the site who had what I had and used oil of oregano (with added olive oil so as not to overheat their anus) who had been cured.

So if you have a persistent/reoccurring itch or burning pain, it could be nerve pain. If your topical cures are not working, consider that it could be your rectal nerve.

I thought this was some spam bot, but since you have been on ST since 2010 it seems unlikely.

Im curious how carrying a seed in your pocket can help with hemorrhoids. A seed of what?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like a giant pain in the ass.

The seed looked like a chestnut; yet, I don't know if they have those in Colombia. What surprised me that the Vicks vaporub worked.

The seed and the beekboparube had me thinking that I was being given a very local and exotic remedy.

Oil of oregano if not diluted is dang hot if it's not diluted enough (usually with olive oil). Most of what you buy in the US is already diluted with a proprietary blend.

Orally - just two little drops under the tongue with a lot of water will take care of the heat.

On the skin - just a drop on your finger to rub on a sore ear is usually plenty. Rubbing oil of oregano around the ear is what I am doing instead of 2 parts vinegar and 1 part rubbing alcohol inside the ear canal and rubbing it out.

Anally - a dropper full of mixed olive oil and oregano oil up the rectum with bottom elevated and let it soak in for 5-10 minutes. If it's diluted enough you will have at least one bowel movement right away and it will be hot for awhile.

Yes - it's a fine routine but way better than surgery or continuing with the searing rectal nerve pain. I could hardly drive a car or sit while this was going on.

Guess you're not a member of the medical community or haven't had anything like this. What do you think nurses do when patients need help? What do you think people do when they would rather not have a nurse do it for them?

Go to LTYG = listen to your gut to hear about people who are dealing with terrible pain.

That website is on par with holographic bracelets and goop.com. That is saying something with the level of pseudoscience going on there.

I disagree. Worked for me.

Goop and holographic bracelets prey on this mentality. They do not have adequate controls so the one out a thousand becomes proof that it works. Not scientific evidence or having even a simple majority or testing beyond chance. This stuff is so far from science it gets into the if it works for 1 in a 1000 it might have detrimental affects on hundreds.

Two thoughts-

The first was.... dude, what a thing to share. Sounds too personal.

However, probably insightful for those that need to know and are suffering.


The second was.... Damn I am glad the only anal issues I have had in my life was when I had the red sauce at Chipotle. Only one time, and the next day, it burned in my ass more than it did in my mouth. I watch girls who order the red sauce and I think .... yeah, she is into anal pleasure and pain. LOL

Primary care MD here but also a PREVIOUS sufferer of the pain due to an anal fissure. I have had my hip dislocated and the rectal nerve pain was worse and mentally more difficult because I knew I had to face it every day after a BM.

Glad your home remedy is working but from experience with multiple patients and my own experience I can tell you the surgery, lateral anal sphincterotomy is a piece of cake. I was out of work for a week and back on the bike the second week. The pain relief was immediate and I never required a single pain pill. It changed my life, please don't suffer needlessly if your pain returns.

Serious question here, couldn’t you just bypass the dropper and use something like olive oil cook spray for topical relief?

Thank you for your experience.

Besides the mixed results and time off that I read about online, cost was an issue. In another year, I'll be 65 so until then I'm on an out of pocket plan for the first 7K.

What I did fail to mention was what a relief a hot shower to the lower spine to the rectum was. That provided me with immediate relief after going to the bathroom. That was better than any topical that I had bought for this.

Again, thank you so much for validating the pain that can come from rectal nerve pain. I've had a C5-6 disc removed and the rectal pain was right up there with that one.

PS the sphincter was part of this and her approach was to use DMSO with Aloe Vera. A friend of mine who is a Gastroenterologist and I had some conversations about trying this; it worked by seeming to soften up the sphincter.

Serious answer is that I would be reluctant to use it as a spray for fear of genital contact. If you get any on your hands, wash it off so you don't inadvertently rub your eyes.

Topical relief was not the answer here as it needed to go further in to be effective. A coating of coconut oil worked as a good barrier on the outside so as not to irritate the outer area.

Here is a medical site with oregano oil benefits that has been peer reviewed.
