Hi, it has been about 5 weeks now since I developed a bump right in the middle of my rectum, it felt like a sharp needle pain when I had a bowel movement and was extremely painful. From my symptoms I think I have a thrombosed or prolapsed internal hemorrhoid. I tried chinese herbal medicine fargelin which is supposed to reduce swelling and thin blood to remove the clot but all it did was make my bleeding hemorrhoids worse, so I stopped taking it. I also used nelsons h care which had no effect at all. As the weeks progress it seems to be getting bigger and bigger and now I’m really scared. I dont want to have surgery because I heard its really painful. Plz help me
P.s. plz no stupid answers, if u gt nothing good to say then stay quiet.

I know this is gross but I would rather ask total strangers. I have chronic constipation and usually everything is fine as long as I remember my medicine. unfortunately, it has caused internal hemorrhoids. what should i do about them if i forget my meds considering constipation causes them?

I think I just had my first hemorrhoid. At first, I thought it was just irritation from wiping too hard. However this was about 2 days ago, I’ve been having burning and itching around my anus ever since. And I can feel a small hard bump right at the rim of my anus. Does this mean it’s an external hemorrhoid? I changed my diet today to include more fiber and water. But I haven’t bought any OTC medicine, such as Preparation H, I haven’t even tried any ice.

Should I try getting the Preparation H cream or suppository? Is there anything else I can do to help fix this? And if I stay on top of treating my hemorrhoid. How long will it take go away?
I don’t have health insurance, so seeing a doctor is out of the question.

So my boyfriend seems to be having a bit of a problem.. ;/ Recently he’s been experiencing pain on his lower back running though the anus down to the testicle. Today he discovered a small lump on the opening of his anus and he is in bearable yet uncomfortable pain. We’ve looked it up, but the only thing that comes up is "external hemorrhoids"… need more possible answers.. Any ideas what he may experiencing?
Jaime, I dont think he has tried taking pain medicine… He is so worried it might be something worse, I will definitely tell him to take some.

I have been using laxatives(senokot forte) for two years and find it good to my bowel movements.It helps me to prevent my internal and external hemorrhoids to bleed. I felt a natural bowel movements. By I was wondering if it’s okay??My movement is depending on the medicine..Please answer this. Thanks!!
