Im worried i may have it. I was wondering if you could tell me the symptoms you had and how severe it was and how long did you ignore it before going to the doctors?

Did it get worse over time? Give me as much information as possible, thanks.
Just to add, im 18 years old and being worrying about finding blood on the toilet paper for 3 years now.
Iv ignored it for 3 years because i dont want to believe it could be anything serious, its too embarrassing and i hate how they diagnosis Bowel cancer, with scopes going up your butt….

by the way what are the cures for external hemorrhoids in children? thanks.
i’m 12 (13 tomorrow) and when I was in the shower last night i washed my butt and i felt a bump. the night before my butt was really itchy, and i mean my anus. not inside or on the skin. last night it got itchy again after i got out of the shower so i told my mom and she gave me some cortisone cream. i put it on and it helped a little bit. i also have been VERY constipated lately, so constipated that whenever i bend over i can feel gas and poop. i can’t fart at all. the last time i pooped it hurt SO BAD when i was done, i couldn’t walk straight or anything. my mom says it’s hemorrhoids. i have had rectal bleeding and constipation for a long time but it hasn’t been serious and it goes away usually after i take a laxative. but recently it’s been soooo bad. i haven’t tried taking a laxative though. and i really don’t want to go to a doctor because i don’t want anybody poking around down there. my mom told me that she has hemorrhoids and that it is most likely genetic. but i’m reeeeally worried. i feel very slow and when i bend over i can practically feel built-up gas and feces poking me. also, i occasionally get sharp quick pains on my anus. i am really scared that it’s pinworms but i don’t think so because all of my signs point to external hemorrhoids.
what do you think?
(by the way i can still eat and stuff)
also the last time i pooped (about 2 days ago) i wiped and i saw this weird brownish red lump. it MIGHT have been poop with a little blood on it though. i’m kind of scared and i really don’t want to go to the doctor. i will probably have to anyways though, but do you have any advice other than going to the doctor?
james, i’m not a retard.
Melissa, i’m really scared of having a doctor look inside my butt. also, i don’t want them to tie off the hemorrhoids! it sounds like i have external and internal though. i sometimes find streaks of red on the toilet paper. but i’m a virgin so i’m not pregnant and i’m only like 95 lbs (but i have a bit of a beer belly)
i have been slacking off lately…i heard it could be caused by inactivity….i’m kind of scared.

K, this is really embarressing. I use laxatives everyday (the doctor said it was fine) so I can go to the bathroom and some times I still don`t go for a few days. When ever I do it`s like diarrhea but not a lot of it. My butt has been hurting REALLY bad the last few days, it`s unbearable. I also haven`t went in the past few days. Well, now I`m pretty sure I have a hemorrhoid but not for sure. So what causes it? How can you tell? What are the symptoms? Also if you know what I can do about that would be great. Thanks!

Last week i was really constipated and when I used the bathroom, I felt like I kimda stretched or tore my butthole. Now whenever I use the bathroom, I bleed out of my butt.(Not on the waste, but on the toilet paper.) Is it possible that I have external hemorrhoids ? But I dont feel itchy down there or anything, I just bleed out of my butt when i use the bathroom. If I do have hemorrhoids, can I treat it and is it life threatening ? Thank you for the help ! I’m really scared.

i dont have blood or mucous discharge but after pooping, my butt itches, it sometimes burns and i feel pins and needle type of pain..after a bowel movement there is some leakage of feces, that is a symptom of hemorrhoid according to mayoclinic..i want to know if hemorrhoid can be cured without surgery? If so, which medicine is the best? I dont want to temporary relief, i want to get rid of hemorrhoids completely..and is there any bad effect of medicine, if i dont have hemorrhoids, if something else is causing the discomfort?
