a few months ago i started getting really sharp pains in my anus whenever i passed a bowl movement and then i’d have a really itchy anus afterwards but only for a while. i googled my symptoms and decided to buy anusol hemorrhoid cream as it was either piles or an anal fissure. i also bought fiber supplements because i knew i didnt get enough fiber in my diet. the cream gave the itching and pain instant relief and eventually i got better (or atleast i thought i had done). i stopped taking the fiber tablets cause i kept forgetting and stopped using the cream. now, a few weeks ago, after every bowel movement ive been having uncontrollable itching down there, so bad that i can’t sleep and i try hard not to itch as i heard it made it worse but i just cant help it! i started using the cream again and if anything it just makes it worse! i get no relief from it anymore! and the sharp pain has also come back when im passing stools! the itching is so bad i don’t know what to do. also there appears to be little white bumps around and near my anus but i dont know whether they have anything to do with it. i don’t want to go to the doctors that would be a last resort, and i certainly do not want to have surgery! someone help me please

I have external hemorrhoids that are a constant bother in my life….I have had them since I was in high school and that was over 8 years ago…..I was considering surgery and wondering if that is the best way to go…….I want to know if I will be put to sleep with anesthetics and what is the recovery like……being that I am female I am not comfortable with any one near my frontal area while I am unconscious….your input is appreciated.

I just started using Preparation H but my itching is still horrible and its causing me to lose sleep. I went to the hospital on friday and the doctor said I had an anal fissure as well as hemorrhoids, so I need something that will take away the pain from the itching of my hemorrhoids, I know it sounds disgusting but I really do need help if anyone has been in this position please feel free to comment

Hello, I’ve had prolonged stomach pain which I believed was IBS. It’s mostly in the left lower abdomen on a specific spot. I also had constipation for more than 2 weeks now, got an external hemorrhoid which came right on its own with sitz baths. Anyway, I’ve had some weight loss recently, tho a few weeks ago I noticed weight loss of 1kg, then went slightly back but now again more weight loss of 1.5kg. I checked out all the causes of abdominal pain, symptoms point to IBS, but I also get stomach pain during and after meals. About a week ago, (sorry it’s gross) I got up and as I was walking or standing wind (fart) came out through my vagina and then the last bit of wind came out from behind. Then soon after that I started getting mild bladder pain when urinating and stomach pain of a bladder infection. Despite having gone to bed very late the past few weeks (tho I sleep late to make up for it), my stomach aches most of the time. Since the weight loss, and bowel problems (constipation) I wonder if I may not have cancer?? Could I have cancer?
The urinary symtpoms are gone. I’m just worried about the constipation (hard stools-only bad thing is I don’t drink enough water), constant stomach pain which kept me awake a few nights forcing me to take pain tablets which helped and the weight loss (tho this could be due to lack of sleep, but my apetite is also down).
