I was in an accident a few weeks ago and the seat belt caused some pain in my abdomen. Could this have caused an external hemorrhoid to form? Maybe the medication made B M harder to do? I also had to go to physical therapy, could that have brought it out?

and can you get steroid cream to help them, without a perscription? (if so what is the product called?)

yesterday when i wiped after passing a stool, there was some bright red blood on the tissue paper. Since then, it has not been bloody, but the inside is a little itchy. I’m pretty sure it is hemorrhoids, though it doesn’t hurt at all.

Are hemorrhoids reoccurring? for instance, once you get them, are you doomed for life? like herpes?

Should i see a doctor or should i wait it out for a while?

I bought some of that "Rue’s Care Oil" natural hemorrhoid treatment so hopefully that will work.

Also, there is no big one that comes out, and it isn’t painful to pass stools yet, though i am careful of pushing hard cause i don’t want to irritate it if it is one.
