Don’t mean to sound gross but

I have a external hemorrhoid and I was going to poop and blood splattered everywhere. Do external hemorrhoids bleed or do I have a internal hemorrhoid.

I’m 25 and never had any problems with hemorrhoids before. I have one internal hemorrhoid which hangs out ( i know gross). I’ve been putting Preparation H on it. It helps with the itching and pain but it has not gotten smaller. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
I do drink a lot of water and I don’t strain when I go to the bathroom. I did have a constipation problem about a month and half ago but not any more.

I think I have an internal hemorrhoid. 2 months ago, I started seeing small traces of blood on the TP when I wiped. I thought it was just dry and irritated from wiping with the dry paper, so I started using moist baby wipes. It’s been nicer with the baby wipes (feel cleaner), but I still see traces of blood on TP and wipes. I recently had a scare where I saw A LOT of of bright red blood in the toilet, and on the tissue. I didn’t feel pain, and I wasn’t leaking blood or anything serious. I waited it out, and next session was fine….no traces of blood whatsoever. Still concerned, so I started doing research, and internal hemorrhoids seems to fit the bill (no external hemorrhoids). I started taking a lot of Benefiber and drinking lots of fluids, and ever since I haven’t had a horrific bloody episode, but I still find traces of blood here and there when wiping, nothing serious. I also haven’t had any abdominal or rectal pain…..at all!

My question is….If I maintain a high fiber diet, consume lots of water, not strain and not have long sessions on the toilet; should I be concerned that internal hemorrhoids will get any worse? Will they ever go away on their own?

If your answer is "go see a doctor", then don’t bother answering my question!
I have a high deductible insurance policy, so I like to save the visits for more serious things, and from my research, it sounds like internal hemorrhoids aren’t serious, especially with my mild symptoms. Like I said, I’ve improved my diet and habits, and it’s been good. I’m just concerned about the long run.
I’d like to point out that within the last 4 years, I’ve had about 5 moments of proctalgia fugax….a middle of the night anal charlie horse.

While this is an issue I hate to talk about, I am willing to try anything to get help with this. Starting back in November I’ve been having almost constant pain and discomfort in the rectal area. I have no insurance but I was able to get a colonoscopy which revealed polyps and an internal hemorrhoid. I know surgery is an option but I know things won’t be the same if I get that done. Any real tips would be helpful. I have a great sense of humor but this is serious so please spare the sarcasm.

I know the obvious answer is keep my finger out of there, but I was curios about the seriousness of this. I don’t feel any pain or discomfort yet I recently had blood on my finger from my rectum. I haven’t seen any on toilet paper or in the toilet and I think I may have irritated a internal hemorrhoid or something. At this point I am going to take a break and let my rectum heal. If anyone has experienced this or knows about it please comment.
