After a 3 week bout with constipation I’ve ended up with a hemorrhoid, possibly more than one. I’m not sure if it’s external or internal, but it’s causing itching, burning, pain with bowel movements, and a sensation that I constantly have to go to the bathroom (have a bowel movement), probably because it’s swollen. I’m taking citrucel to keep my stools soft (but it’s causing me to have uncomfortable pressure from trapped gas!), and I’m used internal and external preparation h hemorrhoid cream. I take warm baking soda baths when I have time, and I’m trying to up my fluid intake a bit.

However, every single time I have a bowel movement all the progress I made with the prep h cream is gone! I’ll feel great for a few days, then, when I have a bowel movement, it feels like the hemorrhoid gets swollen again because the urge to defecate comes back, as well as the burning, etc. It pushes me back to square 1.

Should I go to the doctor? Can they even do anything for me?
I’m also a student, so I sit on a hard desk for 90% of the day, which I’m sure is also a problem.
I don’t drink coffee or soda.

Hi All,

I am suffering following issues:
1. I have soft stool constipation
ie the stools neither watery nor hard stools, inbetween both the states
so i am not able to hv a bowel movement regularly
or when i have it is always incompelte.
As a result of which i always pass wind.
Because of too much passage of wind my ass is smelly, sweaty
and anal opening is always irritated.
2. Right side anus pain
I always have right side anus pain. Its completely random.
It will start randomly and end it the same way.
No matter medicine i take, it does not have any effect.
Also if touch the right side, i cannot find the suitable area where i get the pain.

I have done proctoscopy, colonscopy everything came negative.

In colonscopy, what doctor told is that my stools were sticking to the intestine.
Basically its the sticky, not movable stool problem.

And one doctor told me tht my anus opening is very tight or external swelling is blocking my
path. But none of the doctors tell tht i have a piles problem.
Though i had piles, fissures and anal abscess previously.
Helllo July,

I did not find any relevant data over there

A relative of mine has had them for years, with consequent ocassional bleeding and discomfort, mostly when suffering from extreme constipation. But still someone on another part of the family, has had real bad case over the years, maybe two decades already. And in the last six months or so has been having the worse of smell, such as "cheese". At least three different doctors have seen this person for other problems, and become aware of this.

There is bleeding almost daily, and have been inflammated for a long time. The smell just keeps appearing, but doctors don’t seem to give it much importance. Is this okay?

i have had constipation for a couple of days im only thirteen and want the constipation to go how ?because it can lead to bowel cancer is that true ? xxx

I’m 16 years old and I have external hemorrhoids. I got them from constipation because I don’t eat very well. They don’t ever hurt and are pretty small but I don’t like having them, it looks gross. They aren’t very big, I bought the Preparation H ointment yesterday, does that work well? I didn’t really know what to buy because I don’t need anything for relief as they don’t cause me any discomfort, I want something to shrink them.

Will I need surgery for my hemorrhoids to go away forever? Can they go away on their own if I start eating more fruits and vegetables? If so, how long can it take for them to be gone?
