I can’t feel anything on the exterior of my anus but I have blood on the toilet paper sometimes.. my anus is not scratched so is there any other explanation other than an internal hemorrhoid?
and if it is so.. is there any natural treatment or an over the counter medication i can use?

i think i have hemorrhoid from being constipated and i need help is there any over the counter medicine for this?

I’m only 16, 17 in a few months, and I can say truthfully that I am the healthiest person of my entire family because I eat as healthy (and more) as I should and physically fit.

But for some reason, I end up getting (what I assume is) a hemorrhoid. Every time I use the bathroom, it will start hurting when it reaches a certain part on my anus, and when I wipe, I see some bright blood, which has been going on for about 3 weeks now.

My dad is kind of in denial right now because he says i’m too young to have a hemorrhoid, so he’s planning on giving me a laxative over the weekend (i dont know how that helps???) and has instructed me to take a spoonful of cod liver oil and a banana before going off to school and to stay away from rice. My poop is softer, but it still hurts…

What to do? I think it’s because I spend a large amount of time at the computer sitting, so I’ve been taking 5 minutes breaks here and there ti prevent anymore if that is the case, but how do I get rid of the first?

It doesn’t seem drastically large (no itching, and sometimes it hurts once and the rest of my fecies comes out ok), and is internal.

what if i decied not to do anything whats next,im female age 58 also its continen burning in my stomache it dont go away any more ,what are my opstions

I delivered my beautiful son Connor this past Thursday.

My OB gave me a painkiller prescription, sanitary wipes, and hemorrhoid cream. They are not helping. I cannot sit on any surface (no matter how soft). I cannot walk without pain, and the swelling is honestly hard to believe.

Any advice on pain relief and/or your story about what you went through (and for how long) is appreciated.

and Bush says, "Whad’l'ya have, pardner?" and Osama says…

But wait a minute. I’d better shut my mouth. The sign here in the airport says, "Security is no joking matter." But if security’s no joking matter, why does this guy dressed in a high-school marching band outfit tell me to dump my Frappuccino and take off my shoes? All I can say is, Thank the Lord the "shoe bomber" didn’t carry Semtex in his underpants.

Today’s a RED and ORANGE ALERT day. How odd. They just caught the British guys with the chemistry sets. But when these guys were about to blow up airliners, the USA was on YELLOW alert. That’s a "lowered" threat notice.

According to the press office from the Department of Homeland Security, lowered-threat Yellow means that there were no special inspections of passengers or cargo. Isn’t it nice of Mr. Bush to alert Osama when half our security forces are given the day off? Hmm. I asked an Israeli security expert why his nation doesn’t use these pretty color codes.

He asked me if, when I woke up, I checked the day’s terror color.

"I can’t say I ever have. I mean, who would?"

He smiled. "The terrorists."

America is the only nation on the planet that kindly informs bombers, hijackers and berserkers the days on which they won’t be monitored. You’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to get a jump on George Bush’s team.

There are three possible explanations for the Administration’s publishing a good-day-for-bombing color guidebook.

1. God is on Osama’s side.

2. George is on Osama’s side.

3. Fear sells better than sex.

A gold star if you picked #3.

The Fear Factory

I’m going to tell you something which is straight-up heresy: America is not under attack by terrorists. There is no WAR on terror because, except for one day five years ago, al Qaeda has pretty much left us alone.

That’s because Osama got what he wanted. There’s no mystery about what Al Qaeda was after. Like everyone from the Girl Scouts to Bono, Osama put his wish on his web site. He had a single demand: "Crusaders out of the land of the two Holy Places." To translate: get US troops out of Saudi Arabia.

And George Bush gave it to him. On April 29, 2003, two days before landing on the aircraft carrier Lincoln, our self-described "War President" quietly put out a notice that he was withdrawing our troops from Saudi soil. In other words, our cowering cowboy gave in whimpering to Osama’s demand.

The press took no note. They were all wiggie over Bush’s waddling around the carrier deck in a disco-aged jump suit announcing, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." But it wasn’t America’s mission that was accomplished, it was Osama’s.

Am I saying there’s no danger, no threat? Sure there is: 46 million Americans don’t have health insurance. IBM is legally stealing from its employees’ pension plan and United Airlines has dumped its pensions altogether. Four-million three-hundred thousand Americans were injured, made sick or killed by their jobs last year. TXU Corporation is right now building four monster-sized power plants in Texas that will burn skuzzy gunk called "lignite." The filth it will pour into the sky will snuff a heck of a lot more Americans than some goofy group of fanatics with bottles of hydrogen peroxide.

But Americans don’t ask for real protection from what’s killing us. The War on Terror is the Weapon of Mass Distraction. Instead of demanding health insurance, we have 59 million of our fellow citizens pooping in their pants with fear of Al Qaeda, waddling to the polls, crying, "Georgie save us!"

And what does he give us? In my own small town, the federal government has paid for loading an SUV with .50 caliber machine guns to watch for an Al Qaeda attack at the dock of the ferry that takes tourists to the Indian casino in Connecticut. The casino dock is my town’s officially designated "Critical Asset and Vulnerability Infrastructure Point (CAVIP)." (To find the most vulnerable points to attack in the USA, Al Qaeda can download a list from the Department of Homeland Security — no kidding.)

But that’s not all. Bush is protecting us from English hijackers with a fearsome anti-terrorist tool: the Virginia-class submarine. The V-boat was originally meant to hunt Soviet subs. But there are no more Soviet subs. So, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin have "refitted" these Cold War dinosaurs with new torpedoes redesigned to carry counter-terror commandoes. That’s right: when we find Osama’s beach house, we can shoot our boys right up under his picnic table and take him out. These Marines-in-a-tube injector boats cost .5 billion each — and our President’s ordered half a dozen new ones.

Lynn Cheney, the Veep’s wife, still takes in compensation from Lockheed as a former board member. I’m sure that has nothing to do with this multi-billion dollar "anti-terror" contract.

Fear sells better than sex. Fear is the sales pitch for many lucrative products: from billion-dollar sailor injectors to one very lucrative war in Mesopotamia (a third of a trillion dollars doled out, no audits, no questions asked).

Better than toothpaste that makes our teeth whiter than white, this stuff will make us safer than safe. It’s political junk food, the cheap filling in the flashy tube. What we don’t get is safety from the real dangers: a life-threatening health-care system, lung-murdering pollution production and a trade deficit with China that’s reducing mid-America to coolie status. Protecting us from these true threats would take a slice of the profits of the Lockheeds, the Exxons and the rest of the owning class.

War on Terror is class war by other means — to keep you from asking for real protection from true menace, the landlords of our nation give you fake protection from manufactured dangers. And they remind you to be afraid every time you fly to see Aunt Millie and have to give up your hemorrhoid ointment to the underpaid guy in the bell-hop suit with a security badge.

Oh, hey, you never got the punch line.
So, Osama Walks into This Bar, See? and Bush says, "Whad’l'ya have, pardner?" and Osama says, "Well, George, what are you serving today?" and Bush says, "Fear," and Osama shouts, "Fear for everybody!" and George pours it on for the crowd. Then the presidential bartender says, "Hey, who’s buying?" and Osama points a thumb at the crowd sucking down their brew. "They are," he says. And the two of them share a quiet laugh.

I have been having constipation problems due to poor diet and lack of exercise, but now im fixing everything. And just today I have been able to poop out more than just the "marble" sized but its not normal sized very thin so could I have internal hemorrhoids? Sorry I know gross topic And if this is the cause once I start eating healthier and all that and get the poop going will the hemorrhoids go away and allow me to poop normally?

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*

Hello. I’m not sure. When I go to the doctor they can’t find nothing wrong with me and it’s been since last year. I went to a gastro and got a colon check like putting a camera through there and that was a flexible one. He said it was just internal hemorrhoids. During winter time I had belly problems and I occasionally vomit not like a stomach virus. Does anyone know the symptoms of the parasites and how can I get rid of them? Thanks for all the answers!
I don’t think so.

how can i get rid of it?

i have a very mild case

There are all kinds of flinstone vitamins, I don’t know which one is the right one to take? And I’m supposed to take two right?

This is kind of long, but please read it, you might be able to help me. Plus you will probably find it an interesting story if you are preg. =)

Okay, this is my second pregnancy, and I was constipated for all of the first pregnancy, and then after because I was taking the prenatals for nursing. I never knew untill this pregnancy that my prenatals were causing my problem. I stopped taking them when my daughter was 3 months old, and the constipation went away. Well, we got prgnant again when my daughter was 4 months. So, I am taking prenatals again. I am so constipated. Today is five days without a movement. I was like this throughout all of my last pregnancy and I don’t want to feel like crap 5 out of 7 days of the week when I am caring for a baby all day. And then there’s the hemorrhoids. I got them like 5 months into my first pregnany. My doctor told me there was nothing I could do about it. Infact, she and all my other doctors, told me that I could do absolutly nothing about constipaition during pregnancy, one even said that it should get worse. That’s why I never knew that it was just the prenatals. >=( So, I never recovered from the hemorrhoids, even when I was not constipaited for a few weeks. I have been constipaited for well over a year and suffering from hemorrhoids for almost 11 months. I am in pain all them time. When I have a movement the bowl fills with blood (well, not "fiils" lol) but there is quite a lot of it. Sorry to be graffic, but my movements are literally 3 inches in diameter. =( And my hemorrhoids are the size or marbles after I finally go!! I have been taking Phillips Milk Of Magnesia sinse last night with NO improvement. I know you are not supposed to take a laxative while pregnant, but a lot of people say that this is on their docs safe list. My doctor didn’t even give me a safe list. Thay said NOTHING is safe during pregnancy. Idiots.

What should I do! I really need help. I did some research and found that I will need surgery to remove the hemorrhoids if they continue to get worse. My aunt just had to have a surgery for chronic constipation. I don’t wan’t that while i am pregnant. I have tried changing prenatals, and eating all kinds of vegatables. I even ate only vegatable for two weeks last pregnancy and drank a gal of water a day…nothing changed. I was drinking almost a gal of water a day every day last time.

1.) What worked for you?
2.) What is on your safe list.
3.) which flintstone vitamins can I take.
With my first pregnancy, they told me I could not switch doctors because I had medical. I didn’t really look into it because all I cared about it having a healthy baby. Even though I didn’t like the doctors, it wansn’t that big of a deal. With this pregnancy I looked into my rights and I can infact switch dotors, and I have. I have not met my new doctor yet. I have an apt comming up very soon.

I have constipation predominant IBS with occ. bouts of loose stools but mostly hard painful ones. Recently, the straining for the (lack) of bowel movement seems to have created an internal hemorrrhoid that pokes out during bowel movements and is causing a good deal of pressure and pain. I happen to be in an incredibly difficult time at work right now making taking off for a doctor’s appointment a last choice, although i could go to an urgent care after hours if i thought it would be best, and meant that I didn’t have to miss work tomorrow. What should I do? I’m on a very high fiber diet that includes both soluble and insoluble fiber and its done nothing, so please don’t start with the "more fiber" comments.

I suspect it’s hemorrhoids, but I’m not really sure.

Other than all the symptoms mentioned on this website (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hemorrhoids/DS00096/DSECTION=symptoms), all I have are the itching and a small red bump. No bleeding, no abnormal stools, nothing. Just those two symptoms.

I don’t want to see any doctors, so please recommend any home remedies.

Thank you. I’m very worried right now.

i just realize i probably have a hemorrhoid and it doesn’t itch or burn or bleeds, is just there. i wonder is there anyway to treat this naturally without getting it cut off :-s

i’m not sure if is it an hemorrhoid.but i have these symptoms like constipation’s, got blood on my bowel, painful when i phoo.

Ok so I have hooded eyes, meaning the skin under my eyebrows and over my eyes is a little droopy. I heard that hemorrhoid cream can help with eye puffiness… what about hooded eyes? If not what can help?

Seriously. My three co-workers are all women. They are 23, 33 and 56. They all gripe like they are old ladies with gout and hemorrhoids. They will all stand in a group and compare illnesses…for 30 minutes at a time. Every single day. By my desk. And then I also have to hear about it here and there all day. They LIKE conversing about this stuff.

I find this extremely annoying, and I’d like to let them know, in such a way that they will NEVER bring it up around me, or even speak to me again. I honestly don’t think that ANYTHING is wrong with them, and even so, I DON’T CARE.

So, what should I say?
Thanks and God Bless!

I had breast cancer last year, finished chemo in Oct. For the past 3 weeks there has been blood in my stools. Sometimes there is a lot, sometimes none. Besides the blood I don’t have symptoms of hemorrhoids.

The only pain I have is a back ache which I’ve had since January. A recent had a bone scan has excluded bone mets.

I’m certain I don’t have bowel cancer, I’m too young for starters. I am going to see my GP but not for another 2 weeks. I just wanted to know if metastisis to the bowel is possible? I really don’t want anything else to be wrong with me.
I have been taking Tamoxifen since October 08

What are some diagnosis, treatment and prevention??

I suffer from hemorrhoids,I tried ointment and suppository but after few weeks,it came again, i found a website http://Hemorrhoidcares.com mentioned a natural cure, once for all, from that web,I knew hemorrhoids can be both a physical manifestation of eating foods with too little fiber and an emotional manifestation of being in a constant state of tension. You may be in an environment, either at home or at work, where you feel unappreciated, unloved, criticized, or constantly under siege, embattled, fighting for your very existence.
my question,is there any natural cures for hemorhoids? once for all? why so many people go for a so-called H miracle System to get rid of hemorrhoids now?

Okay, this is kinda gross, so don’t read on, unless you have serious answers.

My daughter was born 16 months ago, and I got hemorrhoids from being pregnant. They never really went away, but didn’t bother me at all. Anyways, a couple weeks ago, I was constipated and had a *sorry, this is so embarrassing* large bowel movement, and it was REALLY painful and there was quite a bit of blood (on TP and in toilet). It was pretty painful for a few days, but subsided. But now, any time I have a bowel movement (even with taking stool softener) it stings, kinda burns, kinda itches and blood drips in toilet and on TP.

I did research, I know its either the hemorrhoids and/or an anal fischer.

So here’s my question… I just got married and my husband applied for me to be on his insurance… I don’t have any right now. It’s probably going to take a couple weeks for it to be in effect… Can this wait until I get my insurance to see a doctor?
