will hemorrhoids continue to get worse?

I developed external hemorrhoids while pregnant and I delivered almost two months ago, i went to the drs and she gave me proctosol hc cream and .. it did nothing. they’re not severe, they’re all smaller than the size of a pea however, i obviously don’t like them there. i returned to the doctor and she said basically i can live with them or have them surgically removed. i’m just curious, if i “live with them” will they get worse? (will more develop? get larger?) or will they stay the same?

scared to get the surgery, so any advice would help also!

I have hemorrhoids and I don’t know what to do?

I googled cures and all it said was to have a high fibre diet or surgery, but it really hurts and I’m assuming the high fibre diet would take like a month. Is there any cream or anything to get rid of it or at least stop the pain while have a “high fibre diet”.

I have an external hemorrhoid, and also some internal ones, should i have surgery to have them removed? 19/F?

How can I tell if I have an internal or external hemorrhoid?

This is quite embarrassing, even though it’s only online..

For a while now, I’ve been experiencing constipation, though it is inconsistent. Some days it’s there, some days it’s not. I’ve started taking fiber, and that has made a difference in my stool, and so I don’t have to force the movement. Anyways..

I always thought hemorrhoids were puss-like blisters that formed around the anus. I never really knew what they were. For quite some time, after a strained bowel movement I had noticed a small lump on my sphincter. We all know what a sphincter looks like, so bare with me as I try to explain how it looked..

It was part of the sphincter. You know how it is a ring, with the hole in the center, and creases or lines or cracks (what ever you want to call it) caused by the tightening of it? Sort of like this -> * I wish it was bigger, but you know what I mean. Put a little circle around the star and it looks like a sphincter.. Anyways. One of the sections of skin, or muscle or what ever you call it, was swollen. So inbetween two lines, that ‘section’, was swollen. It wouldn’t hurt, but it would stick out from my anus considerably after a strained movement. I never really thought much of it, as it would go back in. I never experienced any pain or discomfort. It didn’t block my feces or anything like that, and never become irritated.

Anyways, today during my break at work, I was sitting on the toilet and as soon as I flexed my sphincter, I felt something that shouldn’t be there. I felt around, and the little lump that came from time to time had swollen up to about the size of a small grape – about 2 cm wide. I couldn’t do much at work, but for the rest of my shift, all I could focus on was the pain it was now causing me. It’s not a severe pain. It’s not enough to make me cry or scream, and it’s not a sharp pain. It’s like a pressure pain. Like when you cut off circculation to your finger for a long time and then squeeze your finger, forcing all the blood into your finger tip. That kind of pressure. Anyways when I got home, I bent over and looked in the mirror and it is a little sphere on the right side of my sphincter. ( +O) <– sort of like that, except the ball interferes with the sphincter hole. It is now swollen, and slightly light purple (before it became like this, the little swollen part that would come from time to time was not dis-coloured). Sorry to disturb you with details, but when I pass wind, I have to let it ease out. And when it does, it is sort of blocked, and makes a funny noise (like a peter griffin fart, haha). When I make a movement like I’m forcing out a bowel movement, the pain does not change. But, when I contract my sphincter, like I’m holding in a bowel movement, I experience more defined pain, as the lump is squeezed. I’ve been doing some research online, and cannot tell if it is internal or external. I have reason to believe that it IS external, since its on the outside and its causing me pain, but I am also not sure if it is just an internal hemorrhoid protruding from my anus! It is not bleeding, it is not violent looking, and though it is quite firm and shockingly not squishy, it is not extremely large or prominent. I have put on some hemorrhoid ointment, and am sleeping nude. I will be trying a few homemade remedies that I have come upon through yahoo answers, but I want to go and see my doctor asap. I have to wait until Tuesday though, since monday is a holiday (I live in Canada). Until then, I want to determine what kind it is. Can anyone help me? Jeeze, I’m only 18 and I have a hemorrhoid! Can you tell me the symptoms/ways to distinguish between internal and external? MAN this is ruining my night! PLEAsE HELP!

what would cause rectal pain in a 33 year old man?

Serious answers only please. Ok, he is a 33 year old man. The pain started a while ago it is IN his rectum. It is not a hemorrhoid. It hurts so much sometimes he won’t sit down. He can’t ride in car as the pain is too much. I keep telling him to go get checked however he won’t listen, so I need some advise on what it may be. He has also had the hiccups for the last two days (like the whole time he is awake) thank you for your comments in advance.
he has had no bleeding in his stool, or otherwise, however his stool had gotten thinner.
he has also not had buttsex. Be serious!

I have 4th degree hemorrhoids that protrude from the anus & cannot be pushed back in. Can I remove it myself?

Creams or ointment wont make the skin tag retract on its own. I happen to live in a backward town where the government doctors refuse to perform surgery on me as it is not health-threatening. And I’m not a candidate for rubber band ligation. If I perform the surgery myself under anesthetic, will I die of infection or worse, cut a nerve or artery?

i don’t know why I have anal bleeding?

I has surgery for hemorrhoids in the beginning of the year. I wasn’t bleeding I just had a huge bump on the outside of my anus. About 3 weeks ago I was on the toilet to take a number 2 (bowel) and i was bleeding. It was bright red, lots of blood and blood clots wither i was passing a bowel or sitting i noticed it. I wanted to no if it was normal because the first time i noticed the blood i was staining but it’s been times after that I have been fine and i still bleed and still see blood clots. Just about a day ago i felt fainted and pain in my chest. Should I go to the hospital and get checked or is it something I can do at home.Thank you

Side Effects of Percocet? (constipation and hemorrhoids)?

Hi, I’m a 20 year old male that just underwent ACL and meniscus surgery about 3 days ago. I’ve been prescribed percocet (5/325) and I’m taking 2 every 4-5 hours for pain. I haven’t been able to poop since surgery and I’ve developed hemorrhoids, which are painful and bleed. I’ve been taking fiber pills and stool softners to try to remedy this, but I haven’t had any luck. I have never had hemorrhoids before, and was wondering if they are supposed to go away on their own or if i have to see a doctor about them. Are hemorrhoids a normal side effect of the drug? I’m guessing the constipation will go away after I quit taking the pills, hopefully in the next few days as the pain level goes down. I have a follow up with my surgeon’s PA in 3 days, so I’ll ask him about all this, but I just want some advice on dealing with this now. Thanks

My hemorrhoid hurts so bad I can’t work…please help.?

Embarrassing I know, but I have a hemorrhoid. I had one or two before when I was pregnant, but not for a long time. I looked up all the causes and don’t know what caused mine. It just appeared out of the blue. I work as a server and I have been working lots of hours and I guess maybe being on my feet so much could have caused it. It doesn’t itch like others say they do, but mine hurts. I can push it back up but then within a few minutes it is back out. I have had it for 5 days. I got the pads, suppositories, and cooling gel. I stayed off my feet the past day and was feeling better- then went to the store tonight and within 45 minutes of walking it was back out and hurting me so bad. I am suppose to work all weekend…any suggestions???

Internal hemorrhoid?

Yesterday in the shower I felt a pea sized lump around my anus. I looked it up and the possible causes are colin cancer and hemorrhoids. Obviously I prefer it be one over the other. I have rarely noticed some dried blood on my toilet paper, but never payed much heed. Im just that kind of guy. On further inspection, the ‘lump’ is hard, not round, and sort of pointed. It sits just above (or below..it’s difficult to get oriented) the anus and will move a little bit. It’s painless though. I don’t really get any itching. I do do allot of standing, about 7 hours a day on average and I understand that can cause them. I’m 23 though, not 50. What do you think?

Does an external hemorrhoid necessarily hurt?

I have a lump at the edge of my anus. The only reason I noticed it is that I felt it when I wiped after defecating. I’ve had it for a couple or three weeks, and it hasn’t changed in nature at all (size, shape, etc). It resembles what I believe a hemorrhoid to be in every way, except it causes no discomfort whatsoever. There’s no itching, burning, pain, or discomfort of any kind, yet every description of hemorrhoids I have read includes some sort of discomfort. Is it possible that it is a hemorrhoid even though it doesn’t hurt at all?

How to get rid of Haemorrhoid’s completely and stop them from coming back again and again??

I am 20 years old and for around 4 years I have been suffering with really painful and irritating piles/haemorrhoid’s. I have one haemorrhoid on the external area of my anus and several on the internal (inside of my anus) area. I have recently had some Haemorrhoid’s banded via surgery and since then I have had more Haemorrhoid’s that have occured inside my anus. However the Haemorrhoid on the outside/internal area has been there for years and has never gone. I often get fungal infections because of the Haemorrhoid’s and i’m often on medication/creams to get rid of these bacterial, fungal infections that are being caused by excessive Haemorrhoid’s

For almost 2 years I Have took care in what foods I eat and I intake a lot of fibre, water, fruit etc…

I have also tried several creams and ointments and nothing seems to remove the internal and external haemorrhoid’s or even shrink them and get rid of the pain, discomfort and itching.

Please could somebody help me because it is really bothering me and the NHS couldn’t care less about me..

Embarrassing Problem Down There?

I’ve been battling Bacterial Vaginosis since June of 2006. I was so scared that I had an STD that I didn’t get it checked until December 2006 (I was STD free).

Anyways in July 2007 I started noticing that I couldn’t go #2 without having intense burning and itching afterwards. This has caused me to always have to take extremely hot showers after I go #2 or else I can’t even walk.

It’s the not my anus that burns (which would be hemorrhoids) it’s the skin between my cheeks. I’m really embarrassed by this, but the BV has flared up again and I was treated with MetroGel in March 2009, but the burning and itching is still there.

Should I talk to my gyno about this? Can she prescribed something that will help? What should I say is happening? I’m totally embarrassed by this, but I’m finally getting brave and seeking help. What could be wrong? I’m 21 years old.

What should I do about chronic hemorrhoids?

I’m only 21 years old, and the last couple of times I had a bowel movement, I have had blood on the tissue paper. I’m assuming this is caused by hemorrhoids. What should I do?

Ibuprofen caused hemorrhoids?

My hemorrhoids started January 1, 2010. What a way to bring in the New Year! For the next five months they would flare up for a week, then disappear. I noticed they would return during my periods. I kept a food diary and the only change to my diet was ibuprofen. I stopped taking Alieve and Advil; I switched to telenol. No hemorrhoids this time… When you read the side affects of ibuprofen, it makes since. My heartburn disappeared too.

What is the base cause of hemorrhoids?

I’m not talking about sitting on the loo too long or whatever, but there must be some kind of deficiency that I’m causing in my kid. What should I be feeding him to make it go away?

Prep-H might cure the symptoms, but not the problem as I see it.

Hemorrhoids and Preperation H…?

I think i have a small case of hemorrhoids. I have tiny balls around my butthole that are very itchy! I bought some preperation H, and just started using it. Now will this go away on its own or do i also need to see a doctor? Anything to avoid paying to see a doctor would be great. Also.. what causes Hemorrhoids? Anyone know? Thanks so much!!

Help wih hemorrhoids?

Do I have to go private to sort out my hemorrhoids?

Hey Guys,
need help. I developed quite a few hemorrhoids through pregnancy, and they become worse after the birth. Every time I had appoitment, I mentioned it to the doctor, who has never checked me. I have changed surgeries recently and booked for smear test and asked whether my anus could be checked too which was OKyed, but when I came there, the doctor did the test, but didn’t want to check the hemorhoids saying she knew good ointment and I should try that first. It didn’t help at all, and I have one now, which is painfull all the time, no need to go to the loo…

I am embarressed about having this, but feel even more embaressed about having to keep asking doctors to look at me without result. Lost trust in my GP too, since she does’t listen(and I never had any other health problem).

What shoul I do?

P.S. I don’t suffer from hygiene problem or anything like that-no reason why GP should be reluctant to check me up….

I’m 15 and have hemorrhoids?

I’ve had them for 2 days now and the pain is starting to become really intense. It hurts to even sit let alone walk. My parents have gotten me witch hazel which I have been applying but I don’t know if it’s working and I also have taken sitz baths. Im really afraid that it will get to the point of surgery:/ how long should these hemorrhoids last? If I go to the doctor, will they most likely prescribe me medication for now? How much longer should I wait to go to the doctor and is there any other home remedies I could use to get rid of my hemorrhoids? Please help!

Questions on preventing hemorrhoids ?

I just went through a massive reconstructive hip surgery. I am going to be either in a wheelchair or bed for about 2 months. I am sort of scared that with all this sitting on my butt that I may be at risk for getting a hemorrhoid! I am usually very athletic, and I’m not used to being so immobile.

Is there anyway to get rid of haemorrhoid’s without surgery? tmi?

I got them from giving birth to my son (who’s now 3.5). Im pregnant with our second and am scared they will worsen from this delivery. They don’t hurt, and really only flared up (and by that i mean became apparent that they were still there) when i had a bit of constipation a couple weeks back. I am pushing them back in whenever they come out as recommended by my midwife from my first child – what else can i do?
As i said, they don’t hurt, its just annoying knowing they are there and embarrassing during sex aswell!!

What do I do about Hemorrhoids?

I noticed swelling around my anus and looked it up online and realized I may have a mild, early case of a hemorrhoid. I have never bled out of my anus, even though that seems to be one of the symptoms, and it never hurts. I was wondering if I could prevent further swelling/ make it go away without having surgery.

How much blood loss from hemorrhoids is dangerous?

my mother has severe hemorrhoids, probably caused from her liver cirrhosis. She bleeds a lot from this sometimes, and her doctors are basically idiots and refuse to comprehend how much blood she is losing. They told her that it probably just seems like a lot to her, when it’s not, or that she feels weak for some other reason.

Well, she had one of these bleeding episodes yesterday and after the bleeding began, she was able to catch 1 full cup of blood. Besides this, the toilet was filled with blood, and there was blood on the floor, etc.

She estimates that she lost at least 2 cups of blood.

And, this was just one episode. She goes through this all the time. She was bleeding again last night.

At what point should the blood loss be a concern?

Little worried bout my recent bowel movements!!?

I am a 29 yr old woman and have had hemorrhoidsds since I was 15. I about a year ago started having bloody bowel movements. Started out a little blood and got heavier and heavier. I only bleed when they are hard and difficult movements. I had a colonoscopy bout 6 months ago and he said I definately had internal and external hemorrhoids and thats what was causing the bleeding. This past weekend I had a little diarreah and some blood from the aggrevating of my hemmroids I guess. This morning is my first movement since the weekend, of coarse it was difficult and bloody. Only difference is the blood was darker and had a not so “crappy” smell. Think there is now more to be concerned with or what????

This is really gross but, I’ve been bleeding from my anus when i go to the bathroom. Anybody know why?

I know it’s not hemorrhoids because i don’t have any pain or bumps or whatever. However, i was experiencing some itching but i don’t think that would be the cause of my bleeding, but what do i know?

This is gross, but i really would appreciate an honest response.

Hemorrhoids?

I had my daughter 2 months ago, and now i have hemorriods. bleeding ones. it really freaks me out i mean there isnt a ton of blood maybe about the same amount as a small cut. i want to change my diet but i have to be carefull with high fiber food exspcially the veggies because they cause her a lot of gas. can i take a fiber supplement? what kind of fruits are the highest fiber content? its pretty embarassing to tell everyone on yahoo you have hemorrhoids! but what is a good treatment. i read hyrdrocortisone to reduce swelling but if its internal.. well how does that work. ew. lol thank you guys.
oh and i have really no itching or pain. just blood when i go to the bathroom. but i made my mom look (what a good mom, to look at her 22 year old daughter behind) and she said she can see them. so i guess thats what it is. it kinda feels like tearing when im going to the bathroom. ok seriously sorry if its TMI.

Hemorrhoid question?

I recently went to the doctor and he explained to me that I have an external hemorrhoids for sure. He had given me a cream and suppository, and told me to let him know if I bled within 5 days of using this medicine. Well I bled twice, but it was more so a streak of blood in the bowel itself which I’ve really never seen before, and a little bright blood on the toilet paper. Now the reason why I saw him is because I became really constipated for a couple of days, and the hemorrhoid just got a lot more swollen, so that’s when I said I need to see a doctor. The cream worked like a charm and shrunk my external one drastically. But until recently there’s been very little blood in the water of the toilet, but some in the feace it self like a streak. Now I am over-weight, and all I do at my job is stand up for hours. What should I do? Is the blood streak in my feace just my hemorrhoid? Could it have been the suppository that caused the bleeding?
