When introducing a potato into the alimentary canal, it is essential to use the correct orifice, as it can be processed through only one direction.
Nonetheless, doctors are concerned that some people may be using potatoes anally as a home remedy for hemorrhoids, an affliction also known as piles. Wales Online reports:
Dr Diana Gall, of leading online medical service Doctor-4-U, said: “Piles can be an irritating condition and sufferers are sometimes too embarrassed to seek professional helping, turning to old wives’ tales instead.
“There is no medical evidence that putting frozen potatoes inside the anus can help cure piles, so I would urge caution to anyone thinking of doing it.
“Piles often go away on their own after a few days, but there are some tried and trusted ways to keep them at bay.

Too much work. Just go to you local grocery and pick-up a bag of frozen steak fries.

Anything that goes away on its own in a few days will gather home remedies like a snowball rolling down a hill, since people can say "I tried this, it worked!"
