I have done both the thermocouple sensor and the themal fuse-the former cost (parts) $18, the latter $16 at a plumbing supply house. Each took about 30 minutes to replace and I did it myself. Our local service plumber quoted $75 + parts-most of which was the show-up fee-and $50/hour after the first hour.
Using the squatty potty for elimination will reduce straining and decreases the pressure in the veins. The reduction of straining will help to heal and prevent hemorrhoids. It will also reduce the risk of bowel herniation and other damage to the lower digestive tract. The Squatty Potty is attractive and will discretely tuck under your toilet bowl when not in use.
A Swedish answered. When treated early, hemorrhoids usually disappear within a week or two. By increasing fiber and fluids in your diet, your stool will soften, thereby promoting more regular bowel movements. It also helps to eliminate excessive straining and to take warm baths. Most painful external hemorrhoids will respond to rest and warm sitz baths.
