I have a very embarrasing problem. I am really way too young to be having this problem. I’m 23 and i am experiencing ALOT of pain when I go to the bathroom. I have had constipation problems for several months now and i kind of just ignored it and now it has gone to a much worse level. When I go to the bathroom, it REALLY REALLY hurts (feels like I have needles poking me and trying to come out) and my BM movements feel incomplete if you know what I mean (TMI sorry)

Anyways this has been going on for three weeks (the pain) and recently I have seen blood on the toilet paper and in the toilet. I’m trying to change my diet but its so hard. I have started eating steamed vegetables and drinking a lot of water during the day. I think this may be hemmorhoids but I am really afraid because I have heard that treatment for hemorrhoids can be surgery sometimes and that can lead to some potentially embarassing situations.

What can I do? any home care remedies? I did tried Milk of Magnesia a couple of times and it didnt seem to do much for me. Ive also been drinking hot water every day at work (Ive heard that helps with digestion) and so far it hasnt helped too much. There was a point when I used to eat cereal in the morning, that did help with my BM movements but it made it HURT ALOT to go to the bathroom.

Also for those who have had this problem, what is the treatment like? Does it help? Do you have any advice?

i cant tell if i just need more fiber in my diet of if i have hemorrhoids. it hurts when i use the bathroom but i dont have any external bumps that i can see or anything like that. i dont have abdoman pain or anything. what do you think i need

Please don’t tell me to take warm baths or put more fiber in my diet. I’m sorry but I’m very frustrated because for the past 6 weeks I’ve had external hemorrhoids, although not bleeding still very uncomfortable. I’ve been taking warm baths 3 times per day or more, eating nothing but fruits, veggies, whole grains, cut out coffee, cheese, spicey food, everything you’re not supposed to eat, I’m not eating. I’ve used over the counter meds, went to a doctor who told me there was nothing he could do pretty much. I recently discovered the "H Miracle" cure that perscribes the herbal remedy of Fargelin. This seems to be the only thing that has even remotely helped me. But I’m curious to know if anyone else has tried this and if they’ve had success with it. Please help! Thank you!

hey guys, ive got minor external hemorrhoids and the only symptoms are it just puffed up a bit and it itches pretty bad. This is my second day having them. I was wondering if this will go away for good, if i just use ointment and change my diet, as in drink alot of water, and eat alot of fibers. will it go away if i only change my diet and not give too much pressure while using the toilet?

I’m 19 years old and I’ve only had one sexual partner. I haven’t been sexually active since December. Recently the area around my anus has been itching. I thought maybe it was irritated from shaving in that region but with further inspection I found a small bump near the opening of my anus. It’s flesh colored and smooth. I’ve been researching HPV online because I’m scared at the possibility of having anal warts but it doesn’t look like any of the pictures. My diet has been really poor lately and I am almost always constipated due to having to take prescribed pain relievers so I’m guessing and hoping that it’s hemorrhoids. However, can a hemorrhoid be a bump at the opening of the anus or does it have to hang out? The bump is just really itchy and so is the area surrounding it. It hasn’t bled but I’ve read that not all external hemorrhoids do. I would think that one would have to have anal sex in order to get anal warts but I could be wrong. Can someone please help me out and take an educated guess as to whats wrong with me? *note: I will be going to the doctor I would just like an opinion to help me sleep better tonight*
