I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I developed external hemorrhoids right at the very end of my pregnancy which i know is quite common. They did seem to disappear after childbirth but i have noticed that one large one seems to return each month during my menstral cycle. Its nearly 6 months since i gave birth and whilst i think its constantly there, I think it flares up more during my period.
I know my nan suffered really badly with Hemorrhoids so i’m not sure whether they can be hereditary? Should I be worried as I do bleed bright red blood from it sometimes? I’m abit embarrassed to go to the docs but not sure whether I should be really concerned that it hasn’t dissappeared by itself although i haven’t actually tried any creams on it or anything?
Any help or advice would be really grateful ~ Thanks!

As of two days ago, I now have internal hemorrhoids with no symptoms others than protrusion when I "squeeze" (for lack of a better term). No bleeding, no discoloration, etc… Actually, no discomfort at all, until I try to use the bathroom… I was reading that "rue oil" may be effective at reducing the size? Has anyone used, or know anyone who has used this method? Any other options/personal knowledge on the issue? I am very young to be going through this (22) and if there is ANY known non-surgical way to decrease the size, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks.
