Hello. When I was in the 10th grade, I noticed that sometimes when I went "number 2", I would bleed a little bit. I would have been about 15 or 16 and NOT sexually active at all. My mom and I chalked it down to just hemorrhoids (external, since I could feel a little bump). I was also a bit bigger back then (about 175 lbs on a 5 foot frame). Well, all throughout the years, I’ve had slight bleeding every now and then, but it hasn’t been painful or anything. I’ve lost about 40 pounds or so, but still get the bleeding every now and then. I have had ONE sexual partner and we used a condom ( Dec. of 09). I know there is no way I could have gotten genital warts when I was in high school because I wasn’t sexually active or anything like that, so do you think it’s just an external hemorrhoid? I was recently informed I have a vaginal cyst, so now I am constantly checking down here and freaking out about every little thing because they said I most likely have a cyst, but it could be a tumor. I plan on getting it checked out (the hemorrhoid), but I would like other people’s opinions please. Thank you all very much!

I don’t have ED, but I have occasionally used Cialis or Viagra when I’m not feeling 100% confident with a new sexual partner. I have had an occasional hemorrhoid condition which brings me to this forum. I’m wondering if there might be a connection between the drugs used to treat ED (i.e. Cialis) and hemorrhoids.
Let me share my experience. About two years ago, I took some Cialis and within a couple days developed my first known hemorrhoid condition. I thought it was just a coincidence. After adjusting my diet and adhering to other remedies the hemorrhoid disappeared. Everything has been relatively normal since then. However, 6 days ago, I took a Cialis pill and within 24 hours, my hemorrhoid condition was back. This time the hemorrhoid is a bit more pronounced and it appears it has ruptured since there has been some moderate bleeding (which is freaking me out). Is it a coincidence again or do you think there might be a connection?

I’m 19 years old and I’ve only had one sexual partner. I haven’t been sexually active since December. Recently the area around my anus has been itching. I thought maybe it was irritated from shaving in that region but with further inspection I found a small bump near the opening of my anus. It’s flesh colored and smooth. I’ve been researching HPV online because I’m scared at the possibility of having anal warts but it doesn’t look like any of the pictures. My diet has been really poor lately and I am almost always constipated due to having to take prescribed pain relievers so I’m guessing and hoping that it’s hemorrhoids. However, can a hemorrhoid be a bump at the opening of the anus or does it have to hang out? The bump is just really itchy and so is the area surrounding it. It hasn’t bled but I’ve read that not all external hemorrhoids do. I would think that one would have to have anal sex in order to get anal warts but I could be wrong. Can someone please help me out and take an educated guess as to whats wrong with me? *note: I will be going to the doctor I would just like an opinion to help me sleep better tonight*

I’m having trouble figuring out exactly what it is that I have, I will be going to a clinic after I get back from the vacation I’m currently on but in the meantime I would like to try to determine what it is. First of all, I’ve only had one sexual partner. We had unprotected sex and I found out later that he has slept around. I haven’t been sexually active in a year but I know that HPV can lay dormant for months. Forgive me for being so crude about this but I need to give you the details. Back in October I noticed a small lump on my perinium, extremely close to my anus. My back end had been itching a lot as well so I did some research and found that it was probably a hemmorhoid so I bought some prep H and started applying it to the area. I have to admit that I didn’t apply it regularly and only iced the area a couple of times. I had noticed another little lump forming but since then it has disappeared. I took a mirror in the bathroom and saw that I do in fact have internal hemmorhoids, possibly a thrombosed one because my anus is swollen in some parts and dark pink. I’m constipated frequently from medication, I’m sitting down for a good portion of the day, and my diet is poor. Since then the bump that I found has gotten smaller but hasn’t gone away. Do you think this could be an anal wart? and if I go to a clinic will they even be able to treat it if it is a hemmorhoid?
