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??

eep i had this.
first i suggest not pushing so hard when going to the bathroom or when lifting weights so this will never happen again.
and it sounds like you do have it.. you really need to go to the doctor to see how far a long it is.. if they get big enough you will have to get them surgically removed.
in my horrible experience, i went to the doctor, she poked around my bottum a bit (so very uncomfortable) and told me it wasnt that bad n it was good i came in time. she told me to buy some stuff over the counter that you incert your butt. sounds bad i know but really it goes in really smooth. doesnt hurt at all. i guess its some kind of medicine.. it also helps the poo come out easier so you dont push and make the hemoroid worse. it went away after maybe less than 2 weeks of doing that.
good luck n go before it gets worse!
I think there is a cream that is inserted in your rectum…and YES you should go to the doctors…it may be more then that. I
They will probably try a conservative treatment first, like stool softeners and creams. You’ll need to put a LOT more fiber and liquid in your diet so your bowel movements will be easier and you won’t be straining so hard. If you get them treated now, you may not have to have surgery later, so you’ll need to get to the doc right away.

You could have a fissure (tear) or internal hemorrhoids (swollen veins). Early treatment of hemorrhoids saves you having a lot of trouble later in life. I know what it is to have suffered from both. These are usually caused by irregular bowel movements due either to constipation or chronic diarrhea or undue stress in life or in the area.
A doctor’s examination is the best way to find out what has to be treated. Suppositories (for internal) and creams (for external) are usually needed along with sitz baths.
Your diet will definitely need to be watched. You need to increase your fluids and fiber. This is not only needed for the healing but also to prevent the recurrence.
My wife and I have used primarily natural methods for treating fissures and hemorrhoids with great success. You can read our true story by following the link at http://www.nohemorrhoids.net/say_goodbye_to_hemorrhoids.html
