Hey. Uhm. I think I might possibly have a UTI or a yeast infection. not sure… cuz i have symptoms for both. Burning when i pee, its kinda cloudy, itchy vagina (annoying) etc. I also have hemorrhoids… Yeah I know what your thinking. Dang. she has alot of problems. Yup. and Im only 15. My life sucks. Anyway. I’m kinda afraid to tell my mom… and I need a good way I can tell her that I need to go to a doctor, etc. Also, Will the doctor notice the hemorrhoids already.. or do I need to tell them that too? ;3

Okay, before I start, this may not be for the faint of heart. Just a Warning.

So I’ve been having these problems for quite some time. It started way back in May…of 2007. I was noticing that there was a lot of blood on the toilet paper after I had gone the bathroom. It was pretty much more or less just blood on the toilet paper until one time the water in the bowl was pretty much completely red. That only happened once. I did go to the doctor and all he said was it’s not external hemorrhoids and gave me a number to a gasteronologist. Only problem is is that I do not have health insurance. So I never went. Now The bleeding kept up for some time but it has stopped in the past few months. Only thing now is that I occasionally get pains in my lower abdomen and my stool can be any from diarrhea to solid but soft consistancy, or sometimes both in one sitting. For the first time in my life I’m passing stools…or rather a stool. It sticks completely together, for the most part, and is one long deposit. I don’t mean to be disgusting but it’s hard with the topic at hand.
Well, I know IBS is something that is in my family. My cousin got treated for Chron’s after being severely sick for about a good chunck of a year but I don’t believe she was ever tested positive for Chron’s. Either way, this stuff does run through my family. My doctor kind of sucks in the sense that he really doesn’t seem interested in what I, the patient, has to say. I think it’s time to change Doc’s.

I am a 16 year old male, and just recently (2 or 3 days) noticed I was itching around my anus area. I then noticed that a small lump or bulge had appeared near my anus, actually very, very near to my anus. I figured it was inflammation and so took some Motrin to help. I’m not sure if it helped or not but the next day the lump seemed to be smaller. I then asked my mum to take a look at it and she told me that she thought it was a Hemorrhoid. I’m not sure what may be causing it, I exercise, and am not having any constipation, but my job does require me to stand up almost 7.5 hours at a time. I was wondering if that could be the reason. Anyway I wanted to know if there was a way to cure the hemorrhoids. So far I am taking a laxative, when I do defecate I use a medicated wipe instead of toilet paper, am taking a Preparation H cream,and I am drinking extra water to help the symptoms, but is there any possible way to cure it.
