I’m only 17. So all in all I’m ruling out cancer… I mean I have read EVERY WHERE that colon cancer is 99% in people 50 or older.. I’m not even 20.. BUT my issue is… I’m 17.. I only weigh 85 pounds. I don’t eat meat. I don’t eat 3 meals a day. Some days I can go till 7 at night without eating anything all day. I have been constipated ever since I can remember.. Even as a little kid. It takes me about 3 hours NO JOKE.. 3 friggen hours to get a few poops out. I do not drink water at all ever. When I eat its usually only fast food. My mom,& uncle have had BAD hemorrhoids. Very bad. Now.. I strain REALLY bad when I go. Like I push like I’m having a baby,I hold onto the towel rack & everything its THAT bad. I always have to push so hard that I gotta blow up my cheeks in my face with air every 5 seconds. I noticed bright red blood in my poop. Not the whole thing just lines of red blood. Then one time when I wiped it was brigggght red blood. =/ I also hold my poop in a real lot to. My mom said that shes 100% sure its internal hemorrhoids. My poop is VERY big lol like it hurts like hell. & Sometimes I get a shooting pain up my butthole,can’t sit sometimes.. my poops also VERY dry. I looked up colon cancer & it says you’d have pencil like long thin poop which mine are big,hard,& rounder haha. Sooo & once again I’m only 17? Also one more thing when I go it feels like I’m pooping out sharp broken GLASS…?..Sooo…. any help!!?!?!?! I cry everynight thinking I’m dying.. I’ve been praying & stuff like I do have mental illness’s so this is all affecting me way more then it should.. Does this sound like what hemorrhoids are?

I feel like a pair of rubber gloves after hemorrhoid surgery right now. Do they really think that this will help anyone out at all? Sad day in American history right here folks. How can they say they are doing the will of the people when every single poll you look at is overwhelmingly against this plan? Our elected leaders are a friggin joke.

I work in labor and delivery and have heard that pregnant women get hemorrhoids with the excess weight that they gain during the pregnancy. What is done to correct these hemorrhoids? Do they just go away? Are they something that has to be removed by surgery? What does that preperation H stuff do? I honestly am not making a joke, I just don’t know what the stuff does. Thanks for any help.

I’m 23 years old. I’ve had problems with chronic diarrhea most of my life. I suspect it to be irritable bowel syndrome. I first started noticing hemorrhoids when I was 18 years old. I haven’t really noticed that they have ever gone away completely. But gradually, they have gotten worse…

I have one that has gotten to be kinda large when it’s flared up, maybe about the size of an m&m candy. I very rarely see them bleed. They cause me a good bit of discomfort, but it isn’t unbearable.

When should I consider it bad enough to see a doctor (when I can’t bear it, perhaps….)?

What about treatment? Is rue care oil a joke? Do doctors steer people away from it? I’d like to avoid surgery if I can.

I have diarrhea fairly often, so don’t recommend that I get more fiber in my diet – that’d make my situation worse. I NEVER get constipated. I’m careful about not eating stuff that provokes diarrhea, but sometimes it’s inevitable. IBS aside, suggestions for the hems?
