hi,

i’m a gay male in my early 20s. i’ve had issues with hemorrhoids since my late teens, but mostly external ones. lately, though, i’ve had some pain internally, and am not sure what the problem is. for some reason i’m scared that i have HPV. i’m normally very safe (have had maybe a couple risky encounters, none recently). i’ve heard that genital warts to not hurt, and the problem that i have is causing me pain, particularly when i go to the bathroom.

i want to go get tested, and to have a doctor take a look and make a diagnosis. i called a few clinics but they said they don’t do hpv screenings for male patients. is this something i can see a regular doctor about if i go in for a check up?

i’m freaking out about what the problem is and what my next move should be.
there is a larger, hemorrhoid like lump externally, and 1 or 2 smaller bumps internally, all of which become aggravated and cause a little pain when i go to the bathroom.

I was thinking of joining the air force, my asvab score was 51, not great but i was wondering can having ptosis on my left eyelid and having 1 small hemorrhoid not make me able to join???? The hemorrhoid comes and goes but its one small one, its not that bad. Also my ptosis makes my left eye vision a little bad, like i think i got 18/20 vision, i think..i dont remember

Have very, very painful internal hemorrhoids, that is bleeding and throbbing. Each bowel movement is so painful I’m in tears. I went to the dr about it, he gave me a numbing external med, then he gave me a hard plastic applicator for internal. The meds are not numbing anything, and the pain is so bad, I can not use the hard plastic applicator.He told me to take a warm bath, and that helped for about 20 minutes. I am a server and and on my feet all day, with no breaks and our trays are pretty heavy. Dr said that wouldn’t aggravate it, but I feel like my insides are gonna come out of my butt! I can feel it throbbing! I have even tried the otc suppositories, several times a day, but even those are painful and don’t seem to work. It got so bad this weekend, I called the dr, and he just told me to take a sitz bath again. I’m taken about 8 -10 advil a day, and that doesnt seem to even touch the pain. Any suggestions? IN PAIN!!!

I’ve had pinworms like 4 times before and I think I might have them back.

I went to the bathroom and after a bowel movement I saw a little white thing that wasn’t more than the size of a piece of thread off my shirt.
My rectum itches now and then, but now more than a minute if even that, though thats probably because I have an external hemorrhoid.
I heard that there is a pinworm medication that you can get without a perscription. Is that true.

Is there a difference between a malignant tumor and cancer? or does malignant basically mean cancerous? im a little confused

My dad was taken into hospital with bowel problems…things have been a little fuzzy since then. No one’s telling me anything…so im guessing the diagnosis was bad =/ I only know what i know from listening in on my mum when she thinks im not and when i saw her mouthing stuff to my aunt…At first she was just saying he had an obstruction in the bowel. Then i saw her mouth to my aunt that they think its malignant.
I know a little about tumors as my little sister had a benign meningioma in the brain a few years back, thats how i recognized the word malignant…as they were trying to figure out what my sisters was at the time….but anyway she was ok after they removed it.
i hate that my mom isnt telling me anything…
Could you shed some light for me on the situation or what you know about bowel cancer/tumors
I know my dad has been having bowel pattern problems…he’s been going really late at night, several times…and i think he had some blood in his stool =/ ive been looking up bowel cancer all nite and it seems to be the case….any advice? x
