How often do hemorrhoids bleed?

I was wondering how often hemorrhoids bleed or cause people problems. It seems like I get some bleeding for a few days, then it goes away and in about 2 or so months I get it again. I was just wondering if this was normal and how often other people have symptoms of hemorrhoids. I’m 20 and the doctor diagnosed me with them after the first time I got bleeding.

Your hemorrhoids bleed periodically when they flare up, which is common, even in a 20 year old. If you want to avoid flare-ups, you are going to need to change some parts of your lifestyle. Hemorrhoids don’t just show up one day, they are usually the result of years of poor bathroom habits or a diet that fails to introduce enough fiber into your body. If you lift weights, that will also cause them.
If the flare-ups eventually become more frequent, and you are unsuccessful at dealing with them and/or making the necessary changes to your toileting and diet habits, I suggest considering a hemorrhoidectomy (surgery) as a way of permanently dealing with them, especially at your age, so you don’t have to deal with them forever.
I is fairly common to have them. Women often have them from pregnancy, they can be caused by straining during BMs. Also, they can come from unresolved high blood pressure. There are in fact 2 kinds: internal and external, and both can be resolved by surgical intervention.
Bleeding occurs when hard bowel passes through the colon and breaks the hemorrhoids in the rectum. Spicy food can also bring the same results. Actually, acid forming foods are weakening the veins, and the more acid forming foods you eat, the faster hemorrhoids start to bleed. You can get a list of acid and alkaline forming foods below. As for the hemorrhoids, try Rue Care Oil, it brings amazing results.
