I’m 37 Weeks Pregnant and I think I may have a small external hemorrhoid. What do these look and feel like and How can i get rid of it?

Ok my external hemorrhoid is somewhat tiny..probably about the size of the nail on your pinky finger. I’ve had it about 3 days and don’t really feel it at all, it’s just a little sore but nothing serious at all. Today I noticed that it was bleeding though. Does this mean that it’s serious and that I should go to the doctor? I read that most hemorrhoids heal up on their own but now mine is worrying me since it has started bleeding. Should I go to the doctor or just wait and see if it starts getting better. Also, about how long do they take to heal up..a few days, two weeks, longer?

So i am pretty sure that i have a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. There’s a lump on the outside of my anus that is blue in color and is hard to the touch. I am generally a very active guy (i exercise every day) and the last couple of days i was sick and didn’t leave my chair for pretty much two days. I am guessing that the sitting is what has caused this. So what I am wondering is if a little exercise will help fix the hemorrhoid. I am 20 years old and never have had this before so I am kind of a bit freaked out, even though everywhere says hemorrhoids aren’t serious. That leads to another question. It defiantely hurts but its more bothersome than anything, so is there really any reason for concern? I read that you dont really need to go to a doctor unless you have severe pain, bleeding, or both? I only have the blue lump…

I’m 22 year old female.

The other day i noticed I had a small external hemorrhoid. I haven’t been able to have a bowel movement in 4 days now. I feel the urge too, and I also know that the stool is hard. I thought the hemorrhoid is what is causing my constipation but I now think it’s the other way around. The pressure is what is causing it I believe. I’ve took some stool softeners 30 minutes ago hoping that this will soften the stool so I can go and see if the hemorrhoid goes away. I even bought some laxatives as a last resort. Does anyone know anything else I can do to get a bowel movement.

Will the stool softener soften the stool that’s already hard? I hope to God it will, because I don’t think I can get it out unless it does.

Hi, i’m only 22 and have been suffering from hemorrhoid for months. i’ve seen a doctor earlier on and the medicine prescribed to me (daflon and some ointment) stopped my bleeding…but the pain didnt seem to go fully (it only hurts when i passed my bowels) and i discovered a small lump on the outside, around the skin of my anus. i believe it’s an external hemorrhoid and it shouldnt be that serious as i don’t feel the pain at all unless the time when i go to the toilet and do my business. but i wanted to stop this pain so i went to get preparation H yesterday, it had this slight sharp pain when i applied it, is this normal? does it mean that its working and trying to sooth the wound? for how long will i have to apply this medication? i know hemorrhoid doesnt go away but does preparation H helps to shrink the lump and fully get rid of the pain? anyone help….thanks!
oh and has anyone been using preparation H and it works for them? thanks.
