7-8 years ago, I underwent infrared photocoagulation for hemorrhoids. The doctor told me they'd be back in 2-3 years, and I'd need a "tune-up."
Sure enough, 3 years to the month, they were back. By that time, I'd developed Crohn's disease, and I figured he wouldn't work on someone with CD on top of hemorrhoids.
In desperation, I went back to trying something that had never worked for me: squatting. After reading up on it, I saw I had misinterpreted how to do it, and started doing it the "correct" way.
That was >4 years ago, and I've had only two tiny recurrences since- both in the days after having to use a "conventional" sit toilet.
In my case, squatting has definitely made a positive change in my lifestyle.
(Moreover, on a grain-free, low-carb diet, I have no symptoms from Crohn's disease, so I got that goin' for me.)
