A couple of days ago, i recieved a nice little gift from my body. I guess it was paying me back for lifting weights by giving me a nice external hemorrhoid. Yeesssss!

So anyway, it went down due to my constant cleening and applications of preperation H. It did not go away however and the last day or so, it was burning everytime i would clean.
last night when i went to the bathroom, i looked down and saw blood in the water. Ive been wiping and putting tissue paper in there to soak up the blood and little by little its slowing down. I havent checked again yet to see if its still bleeding, however i will when im done typing.

i did check and its down to spots. not really bleeding as much now.

Will it stop? Ive never had a hemorrhoid before and i want it gone! what is my next step in stopping the bleeding and then getting rid of this thing. I do not have insurance by the way so im trying to do this alone. hopefully!

I have internal hemorrhoids and am due for my exam. According to doctor this is what they do:

"Your doctor can tell if you have hemorrhoids by asking about your past health and doing a physical exam.

You may not need many tests at first, especially if you are younger than 50 and your doctor thinks that your rectal bleeding is caused by hemorrhoids. Your doctor may just examine your rectum with a gloved finger. Or your doctor may use a short, lighted scope to look inside the rectum.

Rectal bleeding can be a sign of a more serious problem, such as colon, rectal, or anal cancer. So if the first exam does not show a clear cause of your problems, your doctor may use a lighted scope (sigmoidoscope) to look at the lower third of your colon. Or your doctor may use another kind of scope (colonoscope) to look at the entire colon to check for other causes of bleeding."

OMG, this all sounds painful! I’m only 23. I am 5’6" and weigh 140 which is mostly muscle as I’m very active. I’m a healthy eater…fruits, veggies, whole grains…I even cook and grow my own produce instead of buying processed foods. What could be the root of my problem? I’m terrified. Help.
I don’t over work myself by lifting weights or anything strenous like that…I do bike riding, hiking, soccer, badminton, tennis and yoga.

just checked. still bleeding a little.

I lift weights a lot and have been out of commission for almost 3 weeks since getting my external hemorrhoid. It just gets inflamed when I exercise and start lifting weights. So I stopped all that. The doctor suggested excision, which cutting into my 2 hemorrhoids to relieve the inflamation. I have no pain in the hemorrhoids. I am asking if anyone has had experience with the procedure of excision. Also how much pain will I feel in surgery and after surgery.
