I have health insurance but I don’t have a primary care physician (haven’t needed one yet and I’m not sure how to start looking lol), so who do I see about treatment of hemorrhoids? Do I just go to a hospital? Or should I look up doctors in my health insurance database- if so, then what type of doctor should I talk to?

i had my hemorrhoid rubber band ligation 3 days ago. im a healthy teenager, Doctors told me to take it easy after the procedure but i feel good, better without the hemorrhoid, i was wondering if i could continue activites such as basketball, running ..etc..if not now, any time soon?

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!

I have visited so many doctors over a period of 10 years and I have not been given any diagnosis.I have started to believe that I may have a cancer. What should I do?

I’m 21 years old. So I’ve had hemorrhoids for months now. I can’t seem to get rid of them. I eat 1-2 fruits per day, lettuce, some yogurts and drink only water… I use hemorrhoid pads for relieving the symptoms. I always knew I had hemorrhoids but didn’t go to the doctors because I thought it would disappear in less than a month. Since it’s still on going, I went to the doctors 3 days ago and he’s confirmed it by checking my anus. He told me "exercise, eat fruits and vegetables" and thats it. As much as I hate the idea of going into surgery, I feel like I need it.

The symptoms of hemorrhoids I have are pain during bowel movement and then itchy/burning feeling after bowel movement. Sometimes it really intensifies after when I walk to school or doing some form of walking. The itchy/burning feel cools down when I’m sitting though. I bleed "sometimes" when the stool is super dry.

What are you guys thoughts about this? Is this a serious condition?

Those of you who’s gotten hemorrhoid surgery before, how did it go and how fast was recovery?
