Spooky ghost poop

By Dr. David Gutman, Advanced Hemorrhoid Specialists

Recently I had a patient tell me that ever since her hemorrhoids have been successfully treated in the private comfort of my office, she has spooky ghost poops. Naturally we shared a laugh before she explained to me that when she goes to the bathroom to poop, there is no wiping. Everything just slides out and it’s like nothing was there.

See, when you suffer from hemorrhoids, you may also suffer from the never-ending wipe—trying to get clean after you move your bowels only to find that miles of toilet paper later you can’t. Because hemorrhoids are enlarged, the sphincter muscle can’t close all the way. So, after you “go,” you can’t get clean because the poop still inside is exposed.

Other types of ghost poop can be the kind that slips out and disappears at the bottom of the bowl, or the big ones that feel little because they slide out effortlessly. The point is, ghost poop is the goal, and I can help you get there.

I have two treatments designed to safely eliminate hemorrhoids. One reduces the blood flow that feeds the hemorrhoids, improving inflammation and causing them to shrink. The other is better suited to removing larger hemorrhoids. Both take just a few seconds to do. Since they are performed in an area with no nerve endings, they can be administered right in the comfort of my office without anesthesia.

There is virtually no pain, no prep needed, there are no major restrictions, and you don’t have to take time off of work. Consultations are free of charge, and our procedures are covered by insurance.
