it only happens when the bm comes ..no other time..its bright red and there is no pain..do hemorrhoids heal on their own?

I have a grape sized hemorrhoid and it hurts all the time slightly, considering that I am going on vacation in a few days. What should I buy and do to ease the pain and get rid of it. It was caused by constipation and since that is all done with, I have to deal with the after effect.

What products should I consider??

For the people who have experienced this before what product works the best, is the Preparation H Cream a good choice?

Thank You for your time. Hope this goes away soon!
Its an external hemorrhoid

What are the over the counter topicals or ointments that shrink external hemorrhoids??

Ok TMI alert but lately I have experienced bleeding in that area and never did with either of my first two pregnancies. There’s a good possibility that I am pregnant now, just waiting on the doc. Could hemorrhoids occur in early pregnancy or is it just later on?

I developed an external hemorrhoid that has thrombosed (according to my physician). A few days have past, I’ve been applying the Rx medicine and have been keeping the area clean as possible. There’s still a little bleeding (as evident in my underwear) and the pain is no where near as bad as it was days ago.

I want to go back to the gym in three days. I currently do not lift weights, mostly cardio and body-weight exercises (prisoner squats, push-ups, one-leg RDL’s, pull-ups, dips, etc). If I continue to care for my ailment, can I be able to work out again without further aggravating it?

I have health insurance but I don’t have a primary care physician (haven’t needed one yet and I’m not sure how to start looking lol), so who do I see about treatment of hemorrhoids? Do I just go to a hospital? Or should I look up doctors in my health insurance database- if so, then what type of doctor should I talk to?

I’m 22 year old female.

The other day i noticed I had a small external hemorrhoid. I haven’t been able to have a bowel movement in 4 days now. I feel the urge too, and I also know that the stool is hard. I thought the hemorrhoid is what is causing my constipation but I now think it’s the other way around. The pressure is what is causing it I believe. I’ve took some stool softeners 30 minutes ago hoping that this will soften the stool so I can go and see if the hemorrhoid goes away. I even bought some laxatives as a last resort. Does anyone know anything else I can do to get a bowel movement.

Will the stool softener soften the stool that’s already hard? I hope to God it will, because I don’t think I can get it out unless it does.

I thought I might have IBS as I’ve been very stressed lately, but I’ve just read that this cannot be the cause, and now I’m even more worried. I have had shows of blood intermittently, maybe every 7 to 10 weeks, and strangely always at weekends. I do not drink or do drugs, I do not smoke although I am a 43 yr old obese male. I have discomfort in the abdomen (lower) area, and no visible signs of haemorrhoids. What could it be? I’ve haad six heavy shows in 48 hours. Might it be an ulcer?
I should also add that it is mostly bright red, although Friday night there was some black spots in it. There was none on Saturday and it has returned this morning.
