also do hemorhoids cause more discharge

I’m a young gay man in my 20’s and my boyfriend and I engage in anal sex often, and he usually climaxes in me. We’re both STD-free and I was his first, so we don’t use condoms. But lately I’ve had anal itching that didn’t really bother me at first. However, it’s grown to be irritating and when I looked I saw red bumps closer to the inside of my anus (they aren’t really visible on the outside, in particular). It doesn’t really hurt, it’s mostly just discomfort due to itching, and the bumps worry me.

I’ve never really had this problem before and I don’t have any history of hemorrhoids, but I’ve had friends that did. I did some reading online and I think it might be Pruritus Ani, because it feels like it might just be irritation to the anus due to penetration and being over-moist, due to the lube and when I go to the bathroom after to get rid of the semen.

Yesterday I bought Hydrocortisone Plus (1%) and have applied it very lightly to the itchy area. I’ve also stopped itching and started padding it with a damp cloth and I’m planning on telling him that we can’t have intercourse until it goes away.

But I’m not positive it’s Pruritus Ani, and I don’t have health insurance or a lot of money right now, so I can’t afford a doctor’s visit, at the moment. Can I take care of this at home with cleaning/Hydrocortisone if we stop having intercourse for a couple weeks? Does it sound like Pruritus Ani is an accurate assumption?

Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Just wondering, I believe I may have hemorrhoids, since it is considered a DQ, could I Still get in?

I only have it because I haven’t been eatting well, no fiber, lots of processed foods, not watching my diet & taking care of myself since my son was born. I’ve never had that problem before he was born. I have recently made changes, adding fiber, eatting healthy, etc., etc. and So its already a great improvement.

So…Could/Would I still be able to get in?
Not drinking enough water either. But I’ve changed my diet and Have only seen improvement. Its not bad, but I know its not good. Thanks in Advance.
Really Hope I can Get in, I can’t Wait!!!
Oh, it is VERY EMBARRASSING, but there is no way to get around it. Geez of all the things, lol. It sucks having to explain/confront the recruiter and/or others about it but they’re professionals so, I gotta let them know, as hard and embrassing as it may be.
Army-National Guard, Sorry.
Maybe Later I’ll go Air or Guard Air, but We have a son so by going Guard it works out better since my husband is also guard. Thanks!

I’ll start off by saying I am only 23. A couple of weeks ago I came down with a pretty bad cold. I went to the doctor and he put me on some antibiotics that didn’t help, all my symptoms stayed the same. It hurt to eat anything besides soup so my bowl movements became very runny, like diarrhea. One day after a BM i noticed blood on my toilet paper, I didn’t think too much about it but the next day when I had a BM it felt like I was passing glass, so after a little internet research I figured I had a hemorrhoid.

The next day was a little uncomfortable but after having another BM that night, I was in a lot of pain. It was hard for me to go to sleep because of the pain, however when I woke up the next day, I seemed to be better. Worried about the night before I decided to bend over in the mirror and take a look myself. I have a large pink lump about the size of a kidney bean where my anus once was! I was very concerned and I have been edge about it ever since! I am too embarrassed to tell any friends for family even though I have tried, I just can’t spit it out. I have been drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of fiber just hoping this will clear up and go away on its own! Whenever I pass a BM it is still painful and bleeds. This has only been about a 5 days total and the pain is manageable I’m just concerned that if I do not take action it might get worse worse, or not clear up at all.

I’d really rather just wait it out if that is an option, I don’t know why I find this too embarrassing to talk over with anyone, but even the thought of going to the doctor at this point is mortifying and I can only bear to do it if it is necessary!

To recap, I believe I have an external hemorrhoid, will it go away on its own or MUST I seek medical attention? Thanks for any help!

my husband has been told that the pain he is feeling, which is in the lower back and radiating down the side of his right leg is being caused by hemorrhoids. I disagree, but I am asking anyway. He has been unable to stand and walk. When he does manage to stand up for short while it seeems as if his spine not aligned. A disc or two might be out of place and pinching a nerve. That is my opinion. An MRI has been schedule for January, but if we could get any further info, that would be greatly appreciated. He has been to as accuputurist but to no avail. He has been given an steroidal anti-inflammatory needle, but once the freezing wears offf the pain comes back twice as strong.

tucks pads for hemorrhoids have 50% witch hazel do you think you can use that for acne on yoru face? since i heard you can use witch hazel for acne treatment…..

For a couple years now, I noticed sometimes when I wipe there’s a little blood. This past year has been stressful. (Surgery in February, then had to quickly apply to college cause parents were moving, and high school graduation) and now college stress. I’ve noticed that when I have a particularly hard bowel movement, like it’s pellets and I have to strain, there is a lot of blood, well, not a lot, but it looks like it because the paper is white. And I bleed almost every time. But the blood isn’t coming from the inside of my anus, it’s on the outside, and other parts, And it’ll itch like crazy, and sometimes burn afterwards. This is hemorrhoids right? I don’t have a doctor yet here, I’m in a totally different state, so. Should I be worried at all?
lol, update. I am straight and everything, so no anal sex. But I do believe it to be the ‘roids, only problem with the sitting part is that being a college student, I’m bound to a chair most of my week, but when I’m in my dorm or at my dad’s, I’m usually laying down, soooo, yep. I’m just a hypochondriac so I freak out with a lot of stuff.

Myth or actually works?

Hello I got a Hemorrhoid last night and want to was to get rid of it. I think I got it by straing to hard during a bowel movement. Any ideas will be helpful

Ok So Just about 6 days ago I noticed that I had a Pouch like bump right on the side of my butt hole. Well I did some research and it looks,sounds,feels, and acts exactly like hemmorrhoids so bassically I kept an eye on it and sometimes it itched sometimes it looked different "got smaller" then cae back. Well bassically the only problems I notice are it just kinda of being there itchy and thats about it no Blood. Well Im kind of a hypercondriac so I’ve been really stressed about it maybe being colon Cancer "especially since my Grandpa had it and recently my uncle "52 yrs old" Im 16yrs old if that helps. Now every symptom of colon cancer I dont really have untill this moring when my poop came out thinner than it usually does.
"also I’ve kindof changed my diet to eating better foods and less other stuff" Also I didnt really have to go and I just kind of forced it out so maybe those reasons are y but im not sure and Im pretty creeped out. So any helpfull awnsers would be appreciated.
also pretty much every reason you get hemmorhoids is what i’ve done I eat lots of cheesy pizza stuff and pretty much never any healthy stuff till now. So it that helps……

This is embarrassing, but…. I have tested positive for herpes through a blood test, but I have never had an outbreak. My problem now is that I think I may have hemorrhoids (mostly internal), but I’m worried that maybe it is anal herpes instead? I have never had anal sex, but I have heard that you can still have an anal outbreak regardless.
For a few months now, I have seen a little bit of blood on the toilet paper when I wipe, but it has always been a small amount. There have been a couple of little tears now and then, so I figured that was the cause of the bleeding. I have had itching too.
The past few days, my symptoms have been a little worse. I’m not sure why I initially decided to do this, but I took a mirror to the bathroom and held it so that I could see my anus as I was pushing out. A couple really swollen looking and bright red things come out past my anus, and go back in.

I forgot to mention that I have been taking a diet pill, for about a month. I have been having diarrhea, but it started after I started taking the pills, so I think its related to just that. I say this to point out that I have not been constipated, so I haven’t had to push too hard to go to the bathroom. However, now that I see the swollen looking red things that come out, I feel like I am having to push harder because It feels like I need to push extra to get the stool to go past the red things. I know this is kind of gross, but I took a couple of pictures (clean) in case I can send them to someone to help with a diagnosis. I’ve been reading and it seems like my symptoms can fall under anal herpes, hemorrhoids, and even inflammatory bowel disease. Please help!

I got them when I went into labour with my son three months ago I have tried using supositries and cream but they have not helped & I have stayed regular but they are still there causing me alot of pain and discomfort

Calmovil is an herbal supplement for the prevention & treatment of hemorrhoids. I’m wondering if anyone has tried it or had any success with it and if it’s worth the they are asking for it on the website?

have hemorrhoids, don’t bother me when sitting or standing but 40 mins.after i lay down they burn and itch?

My son was born nearly three months ago, but I find myself still struggling to completely recover from my vaginal delivery. I had my 6 week check up as scheduled and the doctor told me that everything was healed up just fine… no hemorrhoids… stitches were gone…etc. But it seems to me like everything is NOT back to normal.

First, my natural smell (down there) seems to be a little off… or at least different from the way it used to be. I don’t like it. Second, I’ve had my period for almost a whole month straight now. Third, it still kind of hurts to take a poo. And finally, I’ve been getting recurring yeast infections (something I never used to get). I am very clean and I take good care of myself. Are all of these things normal? Or at least some? Please experienced mothers help me!
To Ilovemyson- You made me laugh… yes the poop pain is kind of funny but it really sucks. I can’t wait until it’s a very distant memory.

Yes, I plan on talking with my doctor again. I was just curious if some or all of these symptoms were common. Thanks :)

Im going to have surgery next week for my hemorrhoids…..?
what should or shouldnt eat? and did anyone esle have this done? how much pain were you in?

I just want to know how many people have experienced these as I have not and I am 19 weeks 3 days pregnant. I am amazed at how every pregnancy is different.

Bleeding Gums
Bleeding or spotting
Cravings
Eye Dryness
Vision Changes
Hemorrhoids
Hip Soreness
"Mask of pregnancy" (Chloasma)
Pubic bone pain
Heightened sense of smell
Yeast infections
What is sciatic nerve pain? Is that Sciatica?

I definitely have been dizzy throughout the whole thing so far! I can deal with it though! :-)
I thought you were suppose to get cravings around the first trimester, but everyone is telling me its actually later in pregnancy!
What exactly are food aversions? I haven’t had any of those yet either. So you can add that to the list!
I had hyperemesis as well, but I haven’t thrown up in a few weeks! :-)
I haven’t had my nipples change color at all either.
I have only gained 1 lb so far.
I have definitely been fatigued and emotional.

How can I reduce my risk getting hemorrhoid? I’ve never had them but I am terribly afraid that I may get them during my pregnancy. Almost every woman (including my mother) in my family has had them and I’m afraid that I have that same percentage of chance. What causes hemorrhoids and how can I reduce my risk of them? I read about butt squatting exercise but thats all.

I think i have piles/hemorrhoids..After i finish going to the toilet i can feel 1 going back inside and its kinda uncomfortable but then its fine and i think have 2 small ones on the outside.None of them hurt or itch.They ddon’t dont bleed as well..
are they serious?
what can i do to get rid of it?

I’ve been using it for 3 or 4 day treatments once every couple of months.Doctor gave me some repeats& it works very well but every once in a while it comes back.so I’m wondering if long term use will cause other problems.

Went to primary care doctor for above symptoms, did blood test, iron low. Did rectal exam positive for rectal bleeding. Went to gastro who did colonoscopy in Oct. (noted hemorroids, no polyps this time previouse 4 removed polyps)said hemorrhoids, never examined me and gave me cream and fiber to take. Told me to call in couple of weeks. Is it normal for them not to at least examine me? Going to see surgeon for hemorroids next week.
I should have been a little clearer. My iron was low, they did not say I was anemic. The colonoscopy was done in October but these are symptoms I have had the last month. My primary is the one who did the rectal and sent me to the gastro. today. I saw the assistant, who did not examine me(which I thought was odd) and they gave me the name of the surgeon to call. I’m just worried since my father died of stomach cancer and my mother died of liver cancer in August. Before that there was no history of cancer. I am not taking any vitamins or iron supplements.
