I had diarrhea up until yesterday and now I have a pea-sized hemorrhoid…I read that diarrhea can be a cause of hemorrhoids. But will they go away on their own? If so, how long? If not, what do I need to do to get rid of it quickly? It’s quite uncomfortable..

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!

I accidentally posted this in pain category not sure how that happened. Anyway sometimes I get diarrhea and there are times when it’s really bad that bright blood literrally starts dripping out of me, there have been times where I’ve used a pad so I don’t have to just sit on the toilet. I have external hemorrhoids but haven’t been checked for internal. What is your take on this? Somebody said ask for cream, not sure what that meant, but hey, I suppose everybody has some sort of answer.

I just noticed it today. And I also started having diarrhea today (from eating something bad I think). It’s not that painful, but it’s pretty big. About the size of a marble. It is right under my anus, between the vagina and my anus. My stomach is still acting up, so I have a feeling it will stay for a while. There’s no pus, and I don’t have bloody stool.
So my questions are: Is it an external hemorrhoid? Is there a nice, natural way to cure it? My period just started as well, so is it okay to use tampons?

I’ve noticed a change in my toilet habits and my fecal matter. I get diarrhea sometimes, when I really have to go, and I’m a bit constipated when I don’t have to go. When I go normally, it’s not as ‘solid’ as it used to be, and the color is more of a yellow. A while ago, there was what seemed to be mucus too. This started happening when I changed my diet.

I have no family history of bowel cancer, and I have a pretty healthy diet, and I’m quite active (I go swimming and walking a lot, and have PE 3 days a week)…
It’s changed…as in I’ve been a lot more than I used to…I used to be a really fussy eater and ate the same thing everyday, it’s more varied now
