for the past two years i have been getting hemorrhoids only during my period. i have heard that women get them when they are pregnant, but i am not sure if it is common during there period, or if its something i should get checked out.

Oh and i am 20 years old

I’ve seen my doc, he’s sending me to a GI specialist on Thursday. May have a colonoscopy. I’m not sure what a blood clot is supposed to look like, but the blood on my stool is formed together and occaisionally when I wipe, a "clot" is there on the paper. I’ve bled from hemorroids for years, but these clots are new. I’m just hoping I don’t have anything worse than hemorroids.
I do have pain while having a bowel movement. I may have an anal fissure instead of hemorroids. But like I said, the clots are new.

Has anyone had this surgery,and what is your experience.Thanks

Are there non-medicated ways to get rid of Hemorrhoids and Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Any natural methods that can be applied to cure them rather than taking meds all the time?

My poor girlfriend goes for long walks. During these walks she feels discomfort and itching. When she gets home there is blood in her underwear from what must be hemorrhoids. Is there a pad she can wear that will prevent the blood from soiling her? This is not a joke. Only adult replies are invited.

I think I have a hemorrhoid, but I’ve never had one before so I don’t know. Not to get gross, but it hurts when I make a bowel movement, but only right as it is exiting. It’s like a stinging sensation like there’s a cut or something. My bowel movements have been drier and harder than usual- guess b/c I haven’t had time to cook good meals, always eating on the go. Then when I wipe there is a small amount of bright red blood. Sometimes I’m a little itchy there too. There are no bumps or anything that I can see, so I guess it’s on the inside. Will prep H cure this and how long will it take? I’ve had symptoms for about a week now and just started using prep H yesterday.

Could be colon cancer?

Note that the blood appears on the anus but not on the feces.

Also the hemorrhoids are not external (are not visible)

my mum has jus had surgury, when will she be out of hospital?

I recently bought some Preparation H suppositories, will those things eventually get rid of the hemorrhoids or will it just make it smaller?

Can I use a needle to lance/pop a thrombosed external hemorrhoid myself? Or will the emergency room doctor do it? I am out of town so can’t see my family doctor and can’t wait until I go home next week.
