I’ve had a hemorrhoid for two years now. It’s not going away on it’s own, and none of the at home treatments work. I’m on Medicaid right now, and they won’t pay for anything. But, I’m getting on to Blue Cross in January.

They hemmorhoid is part internal, part external. I know that when I go see a proctologist in January, they will let me know how much everything will be, but I need to know if I should start saving money like crazy right now, or if all I’m paying is a small copay.

Thank you.

i have rectal bleeding and painful. I have had blood in my stool for 2 months now.My ESR and WBC are elevated, my hemoglobin is within normal though.doc put me on ANALPRAM coz i also have internal hemmorhoids and irritation in my anal canal…the pain is lesser now but the blood in my stool still there. I have normal and regular bowel movement but my bowel sounds are hyperactive. I have no abdominal pain thanks God. Solely a rectal pain. Im taking tylenol when pain kicks in usually at night. Im afraid to have colonoscopy im too young to have that. My doc did anoscopy and he found out internal hemorrhoids and irritation in my anal canal. Is it necessary to have colonoscopy at my age?.. pls somebody can help me what to do…

I have had this for over a week now and I just want it gone.
I am active duty military and got it checked out at the clinic and received the diagnosis and refferal to a general surgeon to have it removed. I cant go to the surgeon until at least 10 days until the refferall goes through and at that point its still just a consult. My window for treatment is getting small as I go on deployment training orders in less than 2 weeks and missing any training for the surgery or recovery could prevent me from deploying.
The doctor at the clinic said thehemorrhoidd may burst and that would relieve the pain but may cause itching. Im really considering bursting it my self to speed up recovery and get rid of the pain. Anyone ever done this? If not what has surgery and recovery been like? Only respond if you have first hand knowledge. I have searched for days on the internet and know whats out there, some of it just seems conflicting.

After the pet food poisonings from gluten, I want an alternative to Vet. prescription food.

I’ve had so much going on these past couple days that I’ve now got an external hemorrhoid. I discovered it last night and overnight it went down in size by about 50% on it’s own. I’ve started doing sitz baths and that’s about it. It isn’t bleeding or anything but it is quite painful.

Anyone have any useful tips maybe some personal experiences with products that will help it go back down? And approximately how long do you think it could take for it to go down?
The weird thing is, it’s really NOT HANGING outside or anything, it’s ON the outside. Is that bad?
