I have been suffering from piles recently and bought a tube of ointment (germaloids) to help with the problem. Now I can't be bothered with the little plastic tube that you shove up your bottie to apply the medication, it takes ages to clean out afterwards. I just place some on the end of my index finger and wang it up.
I followed the instuctions and applied after every bowel movement and they cleared up nicely. However, I wanted to make sure they were gone, so I continued with the treatment for another week.
I found myself poking my finger up my rectum more and more regularly and going a bit further up each time. I am now using a large tube of ointment each day and this morning I managed to get three fingers in, right up to the knuckles. Mmmmmmm, just thinking about it makes me......
Erm...should I seek help?
