I am a 16 year old male and recently found a rather large bump on my anus that I later found out through research was a hemorrhoid. I don’t know how I got it, but it causes some pain when I sit down. It causes no other problems besides the constant pain. I can go to the bathroom as easily as normal, but then when I clean I pass over it and there is some discomfort there, too.
How do you get hemorrhoids and what do you do to treat them/make them go away?

Serious answers please.

Okay, so I have had hemorrhoids for about 4 1/2 months now. I do not have insurance yet as I just moved to a different state and the insurance has not been activated yet. I’m 18. When I first noticed this almost 5 months ago I would notice a slight pin pricking sensation on the right side of my anus as I was having a bowel movement. But even before I even noticed that symptom, maybe a couple of weeks before I was lying in bed and woke up with extreme pressure in my rectum. It wasn’t painful, but very irritation constant intense pressure..It eventually went away and I got some sleep. As the months have been going on the pain of going to the bathroom is worse. I notice the pin pricking sensation in more than one spot in my anus as I am having a bowel movement and also some slight burning is occurring. Afterwords it is very sore and as it goes on my anus swells and then the intense pressure comes back. For the past maybe month and a half I have been taking some tylenol rapid release pills after every bowel movement (usually every couple of days i have a bowel movement, on occasion i have had one a couple of days in a row). This takes care of the swelling and pressure..but I can not take the pain of the actual bowel movement anymore. It is extremely painful. I do not strain going to the bathroom, everything is pretty soft. Also on some occasions I will notice some bright red blood in the toilet bowl or on the toilet paper..which is also a sign of hemorrhoids. I have tried using preparation h creams and medicated wipes but they don’t work. I think they are internal hemorrhoids as I do not see or feel anything on the outside. Like I said I cannot go to the doctor right now as I do not have insurance. I will not 100% tell my mom about this..its very embarrassing and will not bring this up under any circumstance to her. A doctor is different. I read to drink more water (which sadly I admit I do not drink water very much, but am definitely going to add it into my every day diet) and eat more fiber. What foods exactly should I be eating that are high in fiber? Nothing fancy or expensive please..im on a budget and need a simple food. Also, what are some other solutions I could do? I heard something about inserting liquid blistex into my rectum..is that safe? Please help me!! I don’t want to live like this anymore!! I really almost cry every time I need to go to the bathroom because it hurts so bad!
yeah i watch the doctors and heard that too..but unfortunately i cant avoid sitting on the toilet lol.
Larry- I didnt say himroids, I said hemorrhoids so dont tell me to use my common sense..either 1 lear to read or 2 use yours. thanks.

to everyone else..im looking for serious answers. Im so sick of the immature people on here who have nothing better to do with their time than make fun of people and situations.

Can a hemorrhoid cause the surrounding tissue to inflame i have one but it fell like my anus is tight and also fells like its squishy can a hemorrhoid cause that felling

I’d say about a year ago, I had a bowl movement which resulted in my bowl being very large and hard, and bleeding. I figured that I just tore some tissue. It stopped for a while. It then started again. It would happen for a day or two, and then it just seemed to fix itself. Now this is constant. Blood in the toilet after every movement, with very little pain. When I’m not on the toilet, I have no pain what so ever, and I feel as though there’s nothing wrong with me. There’s not much blood. Just a drip or two every couple seconds which keeps the over all color of the water clear. (This is bright red blood which is a relief for me as I know that it is fresh, and it’s occurring somewhere near the exit, and not somewhere further up which could be internal bleeding) I’m thinking torn tissue that still hasn’t healed from about a year ago, or a small case of internal hemorrhoids. (Internal because there is no visible hemorrhoids) Thinking I should consult a doctor about this soon if it doesn’t quit.

Additionally, I don’t have constant urges to go, neither do I feel like vomiting or having pain in the anus when there are no bowl movements.
This has been occurring for about a month now. Thinking it would just heal itself like any other time, I did nothing about it… until now.

this is super embarassing, but i need help. The other day i was a little constipated. and since then, the area around my anus has been killing me. Like, even when i walk sometimes it feels like i’m being stabbed in the ass. I looked at the area with a mirror last night and didn’t see anything that looked dangerous or out of the ordinary, so I ruled out external hemorrhoids. I read online somewhere that only external hemorrhoids hurt, and internal ones are usually painless. So…I don’t know what the deal is. I have Tucks pads, and they haven’t really been working so far. But I’m really freaked out, and I can’t "go", because it hurts so freakin bad.

What’s going on, and what should I do?
