Okay, so I have had hemorrhoids for about 4 1/2 months now. I do not have insurance yet as I just moved to a different state and the insurance has not been activated yet. I’m 18. When I first noticed this almost 5 months ago I would notice a slight pin pricking sensation on the right side of my anus as I was having a bowel movement. But even before I even noticed that symptom, maybe a couple of weeks before I was lying in bed and woke up with extreme pressure in my rectum. It wasn’t painful, but very irritation constant intense pressure..It eventually went away and I got some sleep. As the months have been going on the pain of going to the bathroom is worse. I notice the pin pricking sensation in more than one spot in my anus as I am having a bowel movement and also some slight burning is occurring. Afterwords it is very sore and as it goes on my anus swells and then the intense pressure comes back. For the past maybe month and a half I have been taking some tylenol rapid release pills after every bowel movement (usually every couple of days i have a bowel movement, on occasion i have had one a couple of days in a row). This takes care of the swelling and pressure..but I can not take the pain of the actual bowel movement anymore. It is extremely painful. I do not strain going to the bathroom, everything is pretty soft. Also on some occasions I will notice some bright red blood in the toilet bowl or on the toilet paper..which is also a sign of hemorrhoids. I have tried using preparation h creams and medicated wipes but they don’t work. I think they are internal hemorrhoids as I do not see or feel anything on the outside. Like I said I cannot go to the doctor right now as I do not have insurance. I will not 100% tell my mom about this..its very embarrassing and will not bring this up under any circumstance to her. A doctor is different. I read to drink more water (which sadly I admit I do not drink water very much, but am definitely going to add it into my every day diet) and eat more fiber. What foods exactly should I be eating that are high in fiber? Nothing fancy or expensive please..im on a budget and need a simple food. Also, what are some other solutions I could do? I heard something about inserting liquid blistex into my rectum..is that safe? Please help me!! I don’t want to live like this anymore!! I really almost cry every time I need to go to the bathroom because it hurts so bad!
yeah i watch the doctors and heard that too..but unfortunately i cant avoid sitting on the toilet lol.
Larry- I didnt say himroids, I said hemorrhoids so dont tell me to use my common sense..either 1 lear to read or 2 use yours. thanks.

to everyone else..im looking for serious answers. Im so sick of the immature people on here who have nothing better to do with their time than make fun of people and situations.

I’ve been having muscle "tightness" in my left flank area. I also have increased fat in my stools. I went to the doctor and he said that it was a muscle on that was tight on my side and the increased stools could be due to IBS since I have been under tremendous stress. I do have diarrhea one day and then a couple of days later, I’ll have constipation. Also, I have horrible hemorrhoids. I went to the ER and the doctor there said that they were terrible (I actually have 3 really big ones) and that I needed to see a surgeon. I have low-back tightness and left hip tightness as well. With all that being said, I still have the tight feeling in my left side, not so much the fatty stool but my rectum hurts deep and my hemorrhoids are really bad and I’m constipated. I also notice this groove in my stool that goes the length of my stool. I have convinced myself that I have colon cancer! Im a 35 yo female w/ no family hx. of cancer. My blood work was all negative in May. In the past 2 years, I’ve had 2 abd. ultrasounds and a CT of the abdomen w. contrast which were all unremarkable. No bloody stools but a couple of times did see red blood streaks on toilet paper (from hemorrhoids). Stools are normal size. Am I freaking out over nothing? Could it be levator ani syndrome, possible internal hemorrhoids? Just looking for an answer besides cancer (I’ve been looking on the internet too much)!

I’ve had pinworms like 4 times before and I think I might have them back.

I went to the bathroom and after a bowel movement I saw a little white thing that wasn’t more than the size of a piece of thread off my shirt.
My rectum itches now and then, but now more than a minute if even that, though thats probably because I have an external hemorrhoid.
I heard that there is a pinworm medication that you can get without a perscription. Is that true.

Every last one of you! I hope you fall into a pile of Delicious chocochoco pudding! Poop in my rectum. Ouch, it burns. Anal rim anyone?

For six months now, I have been having irregular stools; urge to defecate, narrow stools (sometimes float), some mucus, sometimes frequently defecating (6/7 times a day sometimes more). I also have a sweaty sensation around my anus, especially when I move. I defecated blood last week for the first time. Those are my symptoms. I had a blood and stool test that showed nothing unusual. Can this be internal hemorrhoids? I have discomfort around the rectum but no pain. Thanks!
hey dumb name, i had a blood test only after the blood defecation!
