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.
Hemorrhoids (US English) or haemorrhoids UK /ËhÉmÉrÉÉªdz/ are vascular structures in the anal canal. In their normal state, they are cushions that help with stool control. They become pathological or piles when swollen or inflamed. At this point the condition is technically known as hemorrhoidal disease. The signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids depend on the type present. Internal hemorrhoids usually present with painless rectal bleeding, while external hemorrhoids may produce few symptoms or if thrombosed significant pain and swelling in the area of the anus.
