I’m 22 and recently have been having some difficult health issues. Hemorrhoids are just one of them, and the rest have to be taken care of by a GYN. Can they help me with hemorrhoids or what type of doctor should I see?

You can see your OBGYN and also your general doctor, gastroenterologist and proctologist (surgeons). I sufferred from hemorrhoids since I was 15 so I know how painful and disabling they can be. If you have internal hemorrhoids, the best thing is to use suppositories and try to work with your diet and rest time. If you have external hemorrhoids I would suggest you don’t put any creams with cortisone or anesthetics as they worsen the condition.
There is a product called Anuleaf AD that works for external hemorrhoids and it is an adhesive device. Depending on your grade of hemorrhoids you will have to make a decision on what is best for you. Check out their web site as it will give you insights on how to deal with the problem even if you don’t have inflamed external hemorrhoids but make sure you see your doctor and confirm that they are indeed hemorrhoids.
Since your GYN only specializes and treats the female reproductive system, you see your family doctor for haemorrhoids.
They shoukd be able to help. But a regular doctor can do the same thing
You should go to your regular doctor, but they are capable of handling it. They just might not want to. Call them and ask…
Typically, a GYN doesn’t specialize in hemorrhoids, simply issues involving the female reproductive system. However, you’ll occasionally find those who do. The website listed in my sources provides a list of those who do.
yes im sure…but if you hve a family doctor…i would talk to them first! god bless!
you could see either you GYN or your family doctor for them. Unless they are chronic, however, there isn’t much that can be done about them. You can be perscribed suppositories but they don’t help any more than over-the-counter creams will. You kind of just have to wait them out.
