I am 22 years old female and I have hemorrrhoids since i was 17 … its not the painful or the bleeding type so i never went to see a doctor about it but my boyfriend has been bothering me about háving anal sex for the last 2 weeks…. i am too shy to tell him about my hemorrhoids so what should i do?

august 2006 severe diaherria and then september 2006 the Bleeding Internal Hemmorrids came about. Doing better but not fully. Loose bowels on and off. Bleeding on and off. Never NO constapation.

I’m 23 years old. I’ve had problems with chronic diarrhea most of my life. I suspect it to be irritable bowel syndrome. I first started noticing hemorrhoids when I was 18 years old. I haven’t really noticed that they have ever gone away completely. But gradually, they have gotten worse…

I have one that has gotten to be kinda large when it’s flared up, maybe about the size of an m&m candy. I very rarely see them bleed. They cause me a good bit of discomfort, but it isn’t unbearable.

When should I consider it bad enough to see a doctor (when I can’t bear it, perhaps….)?

What about treatment? Is rue care oil a joke? Do doctors steer people away from it? I’d like to avoid surgery if I can.

I have diarrhea fairly often, so don’t recommend that I get more fiber in my diet – that’d make my situation worse. I NEVER get constipated. I’m careful about not eating stuff that provokes diarrhea, but sometimes it’s inevitable. IBS aside, suggestions for the hems?

I was told by doctor it could be piles and i took medicines but it is still itching and when you touch it wet with odour smell.

I love oatmeal and lots of vegetables, e.g. broccolis, cauliflowers, sweet potatoes, etc.
How can I deal with the gas from from eating those food? Suppose I am not going to give up these food.
Can adding baking soda into a cooked oatmeal work? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
