Hi, I currently have an external hemorrhoid and I have it for about 5 days now. It is about the size of a pea and I noticed that it became smaller since i first had it 5 days ago. I have been using Anugesic-HC to treat my hemorrhoid problem. Also, I noticed that everytime I have my bowel movement there is a bright red blood everytime I wipe it. This is not new to me since I got internal hemorrhoid before it happened.

However, the thing that makes me worried is that I am always seeing red marks on my underwear. The external hemorrhoid does not hurt much like it was 5 days ago but the frequent marks on my underwear makes me worried.

My question is that if it is normal? I don’t know what’s causing it but I think it’s because of the medicine I apply on the hemorrhoid but I could not afford to ignore the problem because I see the marks everytime. I am not even sure if it’s the medicine that’s causing the marks or something is leaking.

Btw, I already went to the doctor and he gave me Anugesic and he also told me that I don’t have anal fistula. Please give me a good answer and for those who have experienced external hemorrhoid I want to know if you have experienced this too. Thank You.

I’m 22 year old female.

The other day i noticed I had a small external hemorrhoid. I haven’t been able to have a bowel movement in 4 days now. I feel the urge too, and I also know that the stool is hard. I thought the hemorrhoid is what is causing my constipation but I now think it’s the other way around. The pressure is what is causing it I believe. I’ve took some stool softeners 30 minutes ago hoping that this will soften the stool so I can go and see if the hemorrhoid goes away. I even bought some laxatives as a last resort. Does anyone know anything else I can do to get a bowel movement.

Will the stool softener soften the stool that’s already hard? I hope to God it will, because I don’t think I can get it out unless it does.

I got a hemorrhoid the other day and it has been painful however yesterday night after I had a bowel movement I noticed my pants were bleeding. Not paying it much attention I covered it thinking it would go away however it continued to bleed slowly but enough throughout the day. I went to the doctor today and he gave me cream and wants me to see a specialist. I am concerned about the amount of blood loss. It is not a real lot but it is still bleeding enough to cover a tissue. What should I do?

I just want to know when does your hemorrhoid usually bleed? I’ve realized theres really no pattern to it. I could go a few days, to as long as a month without bleeding…I just started taking metamucil daily and im starting to work out because I am over weight which I know does not help the fact that I have a hemorrhoid. Which foods should I be trying to eat to reduce the chance I can have a bad bowel movement that will upset my hemorrhoid?
By the way, I had a doctor look examine me, and he did say it was definitely an external one.

basically i have this small white lump on anus, and when i have a bowel movement, i recently have been like bleeding when i wipe, and on the end of the actual feices (excuse spelling) sorry about the detail
and recently been in a lot of pain

in the cupboard though i found this cream called Preparation H, for haemorrhoids, it says effective releif, does that mean the lump thing will go away? sorry im clueless lol, i was looking up hemmorhoids and its so confusing, anyway i’d rather NOT tell my parents or go to the Doctors, so will this cream do the trick? or can i go to a chemist and buy treatment myself?

any help please?

thanks!
