I was wondering how often hemorrhoids bleed or cause people problems. It seems like I get some bleeding for a few days, then it goes away and in about 2 or so months I get it again. I was just wondering if this was normal and how often other people have symptoms of hemorrhoids. I’m 20 and the doctor diagnosed me with them after the first time I got bleeding.

I developed an external hemorrhoid that has thrombosed (according to my physician). A few days have past, I’ve been applying the Rx medicine and have been keeping the area clean as possible. There’s still a little bleeding (as evident in my underwear) and the pain is no where near as bad as it was days ago.

I want to go back to the gym in three days. I currently do not lift weights, mostly cardio and body-weight exercises (prisoner squats, push-ups, one-leg RDL’s, pull-ups, dips, etc). If I continue to care for my ailment, can I be able to work out again without further aggravating it?

I’ve had (what I believe to be) an internal hemorrhoid for a few days and it’s become very painful, if not impossible to pass a BM. The hemorrhoid is painful enough, and when I clean it i have a little bit of pinkish red on the tissue. I bought Preporation H suppositories and some natural stool softeners today, and took both. How long can I expect this nasty thing, and any suggestions on dealing with the intense pain of trying to BM?

I am in college and decided to have sex with a guy i was talking to. I asked him if he had any STDs an he said no but about a week after we had sex it started to burn when i went pee and i always had the urge to pee but never could pee. Then i got these bumps on my rectum almost like hemorrhoids. But then the urge too pee went away after a few days. Do I have herpes?

Im 7 months pregnant and ever since i got preggo i havent been able to have anal sex due to hemorrhoids. The ones on the outside have gone down so much they are almost non-existent but I think i may have a problem with internal. I haven’t had any bleeding with a BM in the past few days so i was wondering what I might expect if i went ahead. I really want "treat" my boyfriend but im afraid of any damage. Any suggestions?
