I assume there is a chemical in medication.Even like ibuprofen or acetaminophen causes this problem.Is there a way to counteract this problem?many people have to take medicine.Is the chemical also in over the counter vitamins?

Can external hemorrhoids be removed completly with out surgery?

I am only 21 and have recently discovered i have 2 small lumps around my anus which i believe are hemorrhoids.

Is it possible for these to go away?

I am bleeding when I have a bowel movement, and I think I have internal hemorrhoids. I’m pretty sure I have to go to the doctor’s and I am TERRIFIED! Can someone let me know what I can expect, like what they are going to do to treat it??

I’ve been readign contradicting information on the treatment of hemorrhoids lately. On the one hand, a lot of sources say that sitz baths are really helpful and they recommend doing them 2-4 times daily. On the other hand, a lot of sources say that you shouldn’t sit on the toilet for too long because that put more pressure on the hemorrhoids. I’ve been doing the baths and the latter seems to be correct. I feel a lot more discomfort and the situation seems to be worsening. Am I doing anything wrong??

I’ve been having some bothersome symptoms lately. I’m 29 years old. I was just reading about the death of Joel Siegel. He died of colorectal cancer. So as I was reading about it, I found out the symptoms of colorectal cancer & I have actually been having several of these symptoms for some time now. Since the birth of my daughter early this year. Would it be really unlikely that I would have colorectal cancer? Like I said I’m 29 years old. These are the symptoms I’m having:
- chronic constipation
- a little bit of rectal bleeding (this doesn’t happen every day tho)
- pain during and after having a bm
- unexplainable fatigue & feeling of weakness despite me getting a full 8 hours of sleep & sometimes I even get more
Those are the recurring symptoms I’ve been having. Do you think it could be colorectal cancer? I’m hoping it’s just hemorrhoids as I also read from an article on webmd that hemorrhoids can also cause bleeding in the digestive tract & since I had baby not long ago…
by the way here’s the link to the article about colorectal cancer. It contains a list of many of the symptoms caused by having colorectal cancer that I got off of webmd.

My nephew has painful swollen testicles, they aren’t always swollen but they become swollen and painful on a regular basis. He has no medical insurance and finally went to the local emergency room. They told him that they couldn’t treat him because he has hemorrhoids which isn’t an emergency.
I didn’t think hemorrhoids occured in your testicles.

May I please have a star?

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!
