There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Whether your doctor touches your peepee during circumcision or sticks a couple fingers up you bum it’s the same thing. Man up!
honestly, he would probly stick a little camera up your bum to see how bad it is. a lot of ppl may call this bad advice, but unless it requires surgery, theres nothing a doc can do accept give you cream. just take it easy for a while, and eat lots of fiber.
well just go and try ti just ask him and go to
——webmd.com ——–
and it will most likely tell you the illness and the symtoms and if it doesnt then go to a doc. :]
If there wasn’t blood Id’e say just buy cream. But you should deffinetly see a doctor. I did the same, its a bit embarrasing but probly worth it.
Dude… just go schedule an appointment with a doctor that you would be least embarrassed to tell it too, like an old woman or something. You definitely need to see a doctor for that though because for all you know it could be colon cancer…
and to make the doctor encounter less awkward you can tell the doctor straight up that its embarrassing for you, then it wont be as awkward/embarrassing for the rest of the visit… and you will know whats the matter and get whatever help/treatment you need.
I’m sorry if this doesn’t help, but you really should get that checked out… Good luck with everything
c a Dr. get over yo embarrassement issue
Go and see a medical professional. Its not like the doctor is going to be cracking jokes or something…They are expected to behave in a professional manner and will never make fun of or judge you based on a medical issue your having.
This is very common.
Things that you can do at home:
- Buy some cream
- Eat more fibre
- Don’t strain when you have a bowel movement
- Drink plenty of water
It will normally go away on it’s own, but if it’s very painful then a doctor can drain it ( which will relieve the pressure)
When it starts to heal it will become itchy, don’t scratch. Then it will go hard and then start to go smaller it size. Until one day, gone!
