I’ve been readign contradicting information on the treatment of hemorrhoids lately. On the one hand, a lot of sources say that sitz baths are really helpful and they recommend doing them 2-4 times daily. On the other hand, a lot of sources say that you shouldn’t sit on the toilet for too long because that put more pressure on the hemorrhoids. I’ve been doing the baths and the latter seems to be correct. I feel a lot more discomfort and the situation seems to be worsening. Am I doing anything wrong??

I can’t go to the doctor, so no one say that please.
I have itchiness, it feels like a rash sometimes, and sometimes I feel like I have to go, but don’t. Large bowel movements make it bleed.
These symptoms lead me to think it’s hemorrhoids. However, I thought hemorrhoids were visible, and nothing is visible. I heard that anal fissures can be mistaken for hemorrhoids. Is there a particular symptomatic difference?

can hemorrhoid bleeding everyday cause death
