I am about 3 months pregnant with my second child but with my first i did not experience hemorrhoids. When i went to the bathroom this morning to go #2 i guess… it hurt and I bled a little. Could it be hemorrhoids?

my mom had a hemorrhoid surgery like 3 weeks ago then 2 weeks ago she had a nother one because the docters left a gauze inside of her. Shes experiencing so much pain and theres no approvment. ITs been 2 weeks after her second surgery. Does anyone know how long recovery takes? And shes really nauses too. Is that normal or not? She takes hydrocodine for pain and she has no appetite at all what so ever. I feel really bad for her because she screams in pain and i cant bare to watch.

My husband has a hemmorhoid (External,i believe) and it has gotten a small slit in the middle that is bleeding. I am taking him to the doctor tomorrow, but was wondering can anyone give me a good idea of what to expect there.Especially what kind of treatment we might be looking at. Also would surgery even have to be on the table right now, we really don’t want to do anything that extreme yet. Any Answers are appreciated.

I have had hemorrhoids for about 3 years off and on. I have used over the counter meds. My doctor has perscribed supporsitories and onintment when the over the counter no longer worked. My doctor thinks surgery is not needed at this time. Besides fiber and water which I know are importatnt is there are there any natural meds or any other treatments worth trying that won’t be a waste of money. Doctors and sufferers of hemorrhoids please respond only. Thanks

I had a bowel movement this morning, and the toilet was COVERED in bright red blood. I am only 6 weeks pregnant and have never experienced hemorrhoids before. I thought that it was just a little bit of blood when you have hemorrhoids. Also, not severe pain, but a little uncomfortable. Could it be more serious? I have a call into my doctors and have not gotten a call back yet =/

what are the different symptoms of external hemorrhoids? if you have it… how did you know?

i am a 20 year old female and i am starting to think that i might have it even though i do not have bleeding.
i know its a pain in ur butt but what else? i need more specific examples.

I’ve been using it for 3 or 4 day treatments once every couple of months.Doctor gave me some repeats& it works very well but every once in a while it comes back.so I’m wondering if long term use will cause other problems.

No jokes, please… this is a serious question…

Even though I’m relatively young (25) and have not had babies yet, I’ve been having a problem with hemorrhoids for years. Recently the problem seems to have gotten worse; it’s now hard to go to the bathroom without some discomfort, and yesterday I saw some blood for the first time in a while.

My gynecologist said that there’s nothing anyone could do for the hemorrhoids, that even if I got them removed they would grow back. He said the best thing to do would be to wait till I’m finished having babies (because being pregnant will make them worse), then try getting them removed. But who knows when I’ll be finished having babies… in the meantime, I don’t want to be uncomfortable for another 10+ years!

What kind of doctor should I see for this problem? A general practitioner? Or a specialist? If a specialist, what kind?

Thank you!

As most pregnant women know this can be a common thing when pregnant I never had before I had my daughter two years ago I have had them a few times since. And I have them now at 38 weeks pregnant. Could I use a cream or ointment.

I’m having this argument with my girlfriend. She claims to have had hemorroids for most of her life. Don’t hemorrhoids only last for a short period of time or can they last years at a time?
