I don’t strain on the toilet and I eat a lot of fiber and yet a small pebble size hemorrhoid keeps popping up but it doesn’t hurt and it goes away within a few minutes. Could it be from sitting a lot or wedgies or could it be using fragrant harsh soaps to wash down there? Because I use bath and body works soaps, do you think using a non scented soap would help? This question is serious plz help. Thanks

Embarrassing I know, but I have a hemorrhoid. I had one or two before when I was pregnant, but not for a long time. I looked up all the causes and don’t know what caused mine. It just appeared out of the blue. I work as a server and I have been working lots of hours and I guess maybe being on my feet so much could have caused it. It doesn’t itch like others say they do, but mine hurts. I can push it back up but then within a few minutes it is back out. I have had it for 5 days. I got the pads, suppositories, and cooling gel. I stayed off my feet the past day and was feeling better- then went to the store tonight and within 45 minutes of walking it was back out and hurting me so bad. I am suppose to work all weekend…any suggestions???

My father ( 49 yrs old) was diagnosed with Hepatitis C at least five years ago, maybe more and also told that his liver was enlarged. He quit drinking about 3 or 4 years ago. He was a very heavy drinker and drug abuser. Last year he had x-rays done that showed that his liver had lesions (about 6?) and that his liver was enlarged ( I have no idea if it was the same as when he was first treated or if the swelling had increased) He seemed to be sorta okay healthwise for the last few years except for chronic hemorrhoids, very dry looking pale skin and excessive lip smacking (don’t know what that is about..) Over the last few weeks he has been extremely fatigued, having sharp pains in his right abdomen every few minutes and last week we noticed that his eyes are VERY yellow..His tongue is very white..Is that a symptom of Hep C or something else? He has some emphysema and I suspect COPD… Is this disease fatal? I mean, I know it can cause liver failure, liver sclerosis, hepatomegaly, etc.. What I dont know is how far advanced his case is. He is not too fond of medical help… I am trying to convince him to see a doctor…. If you have an educated opinion on this disease, please give me some advice/ answers. Is he dying??? If you are going to post things like " make him go to the dr" or " I don’t know" or " any other asinine answer, please kindly refrain. I know that this site is not a panel of experts but I am at a loss until I can convince him to let me get help for him. Thank you in advance for your help.
I forgot to add that he is also vomiting and has diarrhea.
I also forgot to add that he is confused a lot (like he can’t think or his mind is moving slowly) and that his doc said his levels were "elevated" a few years ago.

Hey everyone. I took a number 2 a few minutes ago and I saw about half a pinky worth of blood on the toilet paper. It’s been happening for about a week now and I’m getting worried it’s an anal fissure. I called my school nurse (I’m 16) and she think’s it’s piles or haemorrhoids. I’m getting worried now and I don’t know what to do. A ate brunch recently and brunch had a bunch of lettuce, water, and fruits but it appeared as if it had no effect. I’m very freaked out right now.
