This is sort of embarrassing but here goes…

When I was around 11, I had a problem with constipation and I developed an external hemorrhoid. I never had it looked at by a doctor, because it’s never bothered me. Well, now I’m 17 and its still there. Yesterday it got a bit larger, because I guess I was slightly constipated. It’s still not bothering me, but I was just wondering if there is any chance it will go away on its own, or will I have to have it removed by a doctor? I’ve read that they can go away on their own with home treatments within a few weeks, but I’ve had it for 6 years and never treated it, so I don’t know…

I asked this question last night, and someone told me I need to change how I eat and exercise more. I don’t think that’s the answer. I get plenty of fiber and I am at a normal weight. I have not had a problem with constipation in a long time, I only get constipated once in a great while, usually when I’m so busy and stressed that I don’t drink enough water.

I recently found out that I have an internal hemorrhoid and now I am consipated without having a bowel movement for 4 days due to the pain associated with passing them. I was wondering if stool softeners help soften the stool that is, well, first in line to pass. If not what are some ways to alleviate the pain associated with passing stool? I am already on hydrocortizone suppositories and stool softeners.

Also why do they get mucus in thier poo, does that mean the cancer is spreading, and why do they feel ok one day and not the next. Please help me by answering these questions. But I realy need to know why bowel cancer people bleed from their bowel dark read gooey blood. Thanks

what treatment should you get
