I have been dealing with external hemorrhoids for a few years, but now almost every time I go to the bathroom I notice a big bump that swells up and then goes away after a few hours. It is quite annoying. I think I need to go to the doc but am afraid of the Surgery word.

I am 22 years old, male. Lately, I have been having a feeling that my prostate (or something in the area) is enlarged. I notice this the most when sitting down, or even lying down. I have recently had urine tests done, all which have come back negative. I know that I have external hemorrhoids, so I am wondering if what I am feeling is an internal hemorrhoid. I have had slight difficulty urinating, as well as difficulty keeping an erection (usually not a problem). I have pain in my urethra, NOT during urination but usually while sitting around. Is it possible for a hemorrhoid to affect the prostate? Thanks for any help.

I went to the docter about an external hemmeroid i had, i got a cream and by personal experience from anybody who had this, when its cured does your bottem look the same? or will it always be noticeable even when it shrinks?

I have external hemorrhoids and breast cancer can that stop the chance of me conceiving?

I recently developed an external hemorrhoid a few days ago (July 11th) and I haven’t defecated since then. I’ve been eating like I normally would and I’ll be upping my fiber amount quite soon. I know I get enough water. I try sitting on the toilet but I just don’t feel like I have to go. I’ve been urinating as usual and my gas levels are above normal. I’m just worried about build up. My questions are these.

1. Should I try a laxative for the constipation?

2. How do I get rid of the hemorrhoid. I’m pretty sure it’s thrombosed. I’ve seen pictures of thrombosed hemorrhoids and read descriptions and that is what it looks and feels like.

I suddenly got this bad hemorrhoid for no apparent reason. It’s the worst one I ever had. It’s been there for about a week now. It looks like 2 marble-sized balls right next to each other. Nasty looking. I’m surprised they haven’t bled.

Anyways, I wasn’t doing anything specifically to cause this hemorrhoid to form. Except for sitting a lot. I sit a LOT in front of my computer. At around the same time my hemorrhoid formed, I also noticed that I became constipated. No, I never had any painful bowel movement that caused this hemorrhoid. All of my bowel movements lately (before the hemorrhoid formed) were smooth and easy. I never had to strain much at all.

For over a month now, I’ve been on a rice and chicken (with teriyaki) diet. I thought that maybe if I ate more like japanese people do, then maybe I’d be healthier too. I was fine all month until recently. I ate a mixture of white and brown rice. But all I’ve been eating lately is white because it taste better with teriyaki sauce. Then I read online that rice (especially white) can cause constipation.

Here’s my point…is this a coincidence that I’m constipated at the same time that my hemorrhoid started? Note that the hemorrhoid didn’t appear until AFTER I became constipated. Can an external hemorrhoid cause the bowels to not function properly? Or could it simply be the rice that caused the constipation? I wish I could cure both problems. I’ve been miserable lately. I even took a laxative yesterday and it still didn’t seem to solve the constipation problem. I went about 4 times from it, but it was just watery stuff that poured out. Nothing solid.

I never wanted to have to go to a doctor for anything embarrassing like these problems. So I’m hoping they get better on their own.

Hi ladies,
I wanted to ask you all if you think it would be ok to use monistat 3 if you have already lost some of your mucus plug? I am dying over here from external hemorrhoids and a itchy ( woman part)! Anything you guys could tell me to help me out would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an external hemorrhoid. It is like the size of small grape. I’ve heard that these don’t go away, but is it possible that this will swell down? It doesn’t burn or itch, it’s just rather uncomfortable and irritating. I constantly feel it and it’s annoying. Will the feel of it go away? I want to know more info on this.
