Ok i found out i have a external hemorrhoid, my doctor recommended some cream, and said its a ‘common thing’. I went to the chemist brought it and spoke to a staff there who said just use it for a few days.

I can still feel it there, it feels like i have no reassurance. what the hell do i do??

i am very worried, for about 2 weeks i didnt pass any stools, i have been able to today but only very small ones and i can’t pass anymore. this happened about a month ago, it turned out i had worms, but i seemed to have gotten rid of them. can threadworms even cause this kind of constipation? ive had some bad stomach pains and am feeling very bloated. i’m 17 years old with no history of digestive problems. i need some reassurance, im frightened i have bowel cancer. i should mention that the only dietry change ive made lately is drinking alot of coffee.
i should also mention that i spend much too long on my laptop, usually with it resting on my tummy.. can this cause cancer/tumors?

Hello, I’m 17 years old and I’ve got a pretty terrible anxiety disorder so I’ve been panicking about this for literally half a month and it’s terrible.

Anyway, almost 3 weeks ago I started to notice reoccuring blood in the toilet after a BM.
A noticeable amount of blood, almost making all the water in the toilet a brightish red.
It went on for 7 days before I finally told my mom, and she took me to the family doctor.

He took a look and said there’s an inflamed bleeding hemorrhoid and a small tear or crack or whatever and he prescribed me to this cream (which is very disgusting to apply..)
He knew how long it had been happening, and that it had been happening after EVERY bowel movement and he said I’d be fine.

Is he right?
It’s been 8 days since I was given the cream, I use it twice a day as recommended.
One day the bleeding was gone all together, just one, I also happened to have diarreha that day could that effect it? Then the next day the bleeding was back!

Should I be worried at all? Should I keep taking the cream and not worry?
I’m so scared that it’s something else..

Thanks guys.
Thanks Cookie, yeah I actually am scared it’s colon cancer or something.. and it’s really scary. I know it’s most likely in my head but I came here for some sort of reassurance to tell me this is pretty normal.

I think I’ll wait another 10 days, and drink a lot of water, and ask my mom if I can use 3 of her fibre pills every day and I’m hoping it’ll clear up..

I could still use some more input, the more the better!

And I’m paranoid because with my first child I got hemorrhoids and they still haven’t gone away. This is a new doctor for me and I’m just nervous. It’s gross and I’m really embarrassed about them. lol maybe I could just tuck it in or something or put a band-aid on it hahaha. Any advice or help or reassurance would be appreciated.
lol I know they’ve seen it all but mine makes me sweat down there and I’m really hygienic. TMI: I put powder on my crack and down there so it absorbs the moisture and then it gets a weird smell with that and the sweat. I don’t want them thinking I’m dirty or something. I use medicines and stuff but it won’t go away!!
