Three weeks ago, I went to the gynecologist and she told that I had a hemorrhoid. She prescribed me suppositories to take for two weeks, because I think it’s an internal hemorrhoid. At first, putting the suppositories in didn’t hurt at all and I had no pain down there, but towards the end of the treatment, it begin to hurt really badly when I put them in. I finished the treatment last week and I still have that pain. I feels as if there is a sharp object in there. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening or what I should do about it? Should I make another appointment with my gynecologist or go to my general doctor?

I recently had a baby and five weeks later and having extreme anal pain. My ob/gym didn’t see anything on an external exam, but I am in terrible pain around the clock for the last three days, bleeding with bowel movements and crazy itching that doesn’t go away and having hot flashes, etc. What kind of specialist do I make an appointment with? Any tips on resolutions?

My doctor is an idiot. I have Painful INTERNAL hemorrhoids. I googled it, and it says internal hemorrhoids arent painful. – Mine are!!! :-S Well it only hurts when im passing a stool. Not otherwise. I have to sort of hover over the toilet, otherwise it hurts whilst it passes out. Has anyone else ever had this problem? It bleeds occasionally too. There is red blood on the toilet paper and it isnt mixed in. Ive has this since last July, and it wasnt bleeding then, i used over the counter meds and it was fine whilst i am on them, but soon as i stop, all the problems start again! Its back now with a vengance!

I went to see my doctor today, and told her the above. and she didnt even examine me. She told me "Do you see a doctor when you have a cold?" I said "no" and she said "Well I have more important cases than your hemorrhoids. Its such a common thing, just go to the pharmacy and buy something next time. If the problem isnt there when your on the medication, why do you stop?…
…BECAUSE IT SAYS NOT TO USE IT FOR MORE THAN A WEEK!!!!!!! DUH!
So, my question is HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD HEMORRHOIDS LIKE THIS? Internal, but you have pain when passing a stool. also, my a*us has a hard lump around it. ive booked an appointment with another doc. but i just need some feedback in the meanwhile! Im peed off, what if ive got cancer or something, she should be struck off the list!
And just a note to say thanks for taking the time to answer. Enjoy your deux pointe!

Ok, this is a serious issue, mature responses only.

I’m a 22 year old female who has suffered from occasional episodes of hemorrhoids for about two years. In the past year, it has happen over 3 times, and it’s becoming a nuisance and embarrassment because I am sexually active. I’ve tried all OTC ointments, wipes, eating more fiber, sitz baths, with little results. I just want it to go away.

So I scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist. I don’t know if I’m wasting my time though, because my ideal treatment would be laser or some sort of immediate removal, and that’s only the case with severe situations. Mine is only mild, but it persists for weeks and I just can’t take it anymore.

So my question is, what should I expect from this visit? I’m sure the doctor will take a look at it, but is the first visit always just a consultation? I’m leaving a week later for vacation, I want him to take care of this thing now!!!!

A few months ago i had blood in my stools, stomach pains, diarrhea and constipation. They did some checks at the surgery but didn’t know what it was so sent off a stool sample. A week later i rang up and they told me that i had a gut infection and if the symptoms didn’t clear, then go back to the GP.

The infection went and so did everything else. Apart from the blood, which did go for a short period of time but recently it has come back. The colour is a red/pink colour and sometimes its not even there.
So i have been to the doctors again but they couldn’t find the cause so have told me to book an appointment for an endoscopy.

I have had a couple of hemorrhoids during these months and told the doctor about.
This is what i thought might be causing the blood but he didn’t mention aything.

Today i went to the toilet and there was no red/pink colour in the stool what so ever, and sometimes theres no blood at all, but it was very dark today, most of the time it is normal in colour but today it seemed darker than normal. Now i’m worrying myself even more and can’t stop thinking of the worst. I ago away in a month for 3 weeks so i need to get seen asap, however i kept ringing the treatment unit all day but there was no answer so i will ring again tomorow – which is making me even more worried.

I can’t stop panicing now and im scared of telling my mum as i really don’t want her to worry because i know for a fact that she will. Which will make me feel even more worse. She would be so understanding and helpful but i really don’t want her to panic which is making it really hard for me to tell her.

Has anybody had similar symptoms and found out what the cause was? As always im fearing the worst I am 20 years old, male. Somebody please help me i really don’t know what to do, and the thought of waiting to actually get seen in really scaring me in what results they might find

please no jokes this isnt funny, thanks for your time
p.s – this is embarrassing but i dont care anymore. I have a habbit of tensing as if i was trying to push out stools. Don’t know why i do it i just do. Could this be causing strain on my bowels?
