Hear the real-life stories of people whose lives have changed as a result of PPH:

People with haemorrhoids sometimes put off or delay treatment for a long time. This may be due to embarrassment about their situation, miscommunication with their GP, or many other possible problems. Reading these stories can make it easier to understand the difficulties that people with serious piles may face when seeking treatment.

Read these stories:

"To begin with the main symptom was bleeding when I went to the loo. Having worked in a GP surgery I was pretty sure that it was haemorrhoids, and I’d had them before when my son was born."

"I had all kinds of suppositories and injections to try and shrink the haemorrhoids to begin with. Then I had a traditional 'banding' operation to cut off the blood supply. "

"[The piles] became most noticeable in the last five years, gradually increasing in number. I do a lot of gardening… "

"My haemorrhoids were so bad I actually had to tuck them back inside to be comfortable. Bowel movements were very uncomfortable, and I often discovered blood in my undergarments. I finally discussed my condition with my doctor and he recommended PPH."

"Before I had PPH, I experienced bleeding that gradually increased over time. I had no fears or anxiety about PPH because my doctor had told me what to expect."

"I have suffered from haemorrhoid problems for over 35 years. During the last seven to ten years, I was informed that I had third degree haemorrhoids and required traditional haemorrhoid surgery. "

"I was suffering from extremely painful haemorrhoids and fissures. I had been housebound and in agony for 5 weeks. "

"I had had haemorrhoids for 40 years, most notably since having my children. I had “managed” them through the years but recognized in the last 10 years that I needed help because of the discomfort."
