Is it shameful to have piles?

DJMK4 · 28 Sep 2009 at 15:02

I dont even know if it is or not, but it hurts when I sit.

Now my work collegue has found out.

I feel shamed and wrong.

No , many people get them, I bet the Queen has even had one or two in her life

ahahahaha!

I don't know if its shameful, but it is funny. Now you have to go to the chemist and ask for the cream to rub into your bum.

As a serious answer, I would say of course not. I don't think it's caused by a lack of cleanliness is it?

Get yourself to the doctors and have them confirm and treat if required.

Embarressing perhaps due to where it happens, but not really shameful.

Push too hard when you had a poo?

DJMK4 · 28 Sep 2009 at 15:04

Luckily its not internally, but external, which makes me feel better I suppose.

dont want to be using that cream internally, that would be embarrasing

And I imagine, a pain in the bum.

It's just from spending too long on the loo. No shame in it, loads of people get 'em specially in old age. Go and see a doctor.

Father Ted · 28 Sep 2009 at 15:07

People taking the mickey, I wouldn't stand for it!
On the other hand it might be more comfortable than sitting down

So you post on an Interweb forum.

Don't get much better than this, Lol Eggface.

Yeah, bad posture can do it - anything which interferes with blood pressure in the vessels in that area according to wikipedia

I thought I had piles once, but didn't. I wish I did have piles though, because a cyst under the skin pressing against the coccyx causes massive back pain until it bursts, and when it bursts, it's messy.

Now that's embarassing. Caused by ingrowing hairs FFS!

Sitting on cold surfaces can cause them, or so my old metal work tutor said, but maybe he just didn't want us sitting on the bench's!

I think it depends in what circumstances your colleague found out.
