so, i’m not sure if this is my hemorrhoids r something serious. i just had a bowel movement and when i wiped i had bright red blood on the toilet paper on…there was none in the actual stool. i took at mirror to look at my buttocks and it seems as if my external hemorrhoids are enlarged and one sorts of hurts a lot and stings. i’m not sure if i strained or tore something down there. what do you think it could be…i don’t want it to be cancer ;-/

p.s. i have had hemorrhoid problems before where they got irritated and enlarged and hurt to sit. so, i’m not sure if this is the same thing.

I noticed today that I have a (what I think is) small hemorrhoid on my anus. I think I only got it today so I want to act as quickly as possible to get rid of it before it’s a problem. Is there any easy or fast way to get rid of it? And how long does it take to go away? Also how do I avoid making it worst?

An anal fistulotomy. I had 2 anal fistula’s. I had 2 internal hemorrhoids. One was inside a fistula and the other was between the two tears. I also had 1 external hemorrhoid. They also decided to remove a pilonidal [[something to that effect]] cyst. Where the cyst was removed from is in excruciating pain almost 24/7. I’m almost certain that it’s not normal. Has anyone been through something similar? Is there a reason that after 2 weeks my cyst has yet to stop hurting?

Please don’t crack stupid jokes. I just wondered if it was a common theme for the cyst to continually hurt. These problems arose during my pregnancy, and proceeded to get worse after I’d given birth.

I’ve got a huge external hemorrhoid that feels like a firm, lumpy mass. There’s no pain and no itching, surprisingly, but will this go away on its own if I constantly use prepH, take fiber, and sit in warm baths?

I was sick for about 3 weeks and had severe diarrhea. From this, I developed what I believe is an external hemorrhoid. I just started to use Preparation H medicated wipes after I go to the restroom, and I’ve been putting on the ointment as well. I am 20 years old, and this is my first time having one :’( Kind of scary!

This is very embarrassing to talk about, but I really need to know what it is so I can relax and stop stressing. I’ve noticed while using the bathroom, that I have a lump around the opening of my anus. It seems like it’s external but it can go inside as well but it comes out a bit. I’m not sure if I’m describing this right, lol. It’s about the size of a pea or smaller, isn’t hard, and isn’t tender or sore to the touch. The colour is red, in some light it looks a wee bit purplish but it may just be my lighting, it basically looks red. I am experiencing no discomfort or itchiness at all, it’s just a lump there. I was wondering what this may be? I am a very clean person, I wash my vaginal and anus area each time I use the bathroom, I consume a lot of fiber in my diet, I drink a lot of fluids. This appeared a few days ago and it is really worrying me. I have been using Triamcinolone cream on it today that I have in hopes that it will reduce the swelling and rid me of the problem. I am only 18 years old, I’m not sure if it is hemorrhoids, or if it’s something else, or something that will disappear within a few days and not show up again (would be nice if it didn’t). I’m currently trying to make sure I lay on my left side instead of sitting, and I try to get up and walk around in case it is an external hemorrhoid. Can anyone help? I’m willing to provide more details if needed. Please and thank you!
Oh, I do tend to eat a lot of spices and have been consuming them a lot over the past month.

external

This has never happened to me before, I have had a thrombosed external hemorrhoid about the size of a grape for two days now and am in horrible pain. I am doing sitz baths a few times a day, dabbing witch hazel, with no physical changes and still tons of pain. Is this thing going to go away on its own, and how long will that take? I’ve heard they can burst which would help with the pain so is there anything I could do to make that happen or am I at the point of no return and need a doctor…Serious answers only please.

External hemorrhoids?

I have an external hemorrhoid, I am 16 years old and was wondering how to make it go away because its very painful and I have cross country every day.

How do I get rid of it??? I heard warm tub baths is best with some ointment cream or something?
