If you think you have hemorrhoids should you try home treatment or call the Dr. first?

I’m just wondering.

Hemorrhoid doctor?

I’ve had an external hemorrhoid for a couple of years…I’ve changed my diet long ago and it hasn’t bled or caused me any pain for at least a year. Butt it still itches. And it’s so unsexy.
What kind of a doctor do you see to get this removed? Regular PCP? Gynie? Dermatologist? And do they numb you first? Does insurance typically cover it?
Thanks for real replies. Being a grown-up sucks.

Is passing blood clots outside of stool a symptom of hemorrhoids, if that person goes untreated for years?

I’ve seen my doc, he’s sending me to a GI specialist on Thursday. May have a colonoscopy. I’m not sure what a blood clot is supposed to look like, but the blood on my stool is formed together and occaisionally when I wipe, a "clot" is there on the paper. I’ve bled from hemorroids for years, but these clots are new. I’m just hoping I don’t have anything worse than hemorroids.
I do have pain while having a bowel movement. I may have an anal fissure instead of hemorroids. But like I said, the clots are new.

If I've a suspected case of hemorrhoids, would diosmin (5mg) & hesperidin (50mg) stop the bleeding?

I was prescribed with 7 days of dosage by my doc but had missed a day. I was moving my bowels and found blood (on the day I missed the medication). The bleeding had stopped when I first started the medication. Any advice is much appreciated :)

Is it a hemorrhoid or something else? I’m only 16 years old!?

What is it. I have a pea-sized lump with a dark centre on the outside of my asshole. I’m not sure if it is a hemorrhoid or not because i’m only 16 years old. It really hurts to sit down. Don’t hemorrhoids have to hang down and stuff? I would appreciate advice. If you’re going to leave stupid comments don’t bother. Thankyou

Why does alcohol and smoking effect hemorrhoids?

I smoke, I drink and recently have been suffering from enflamed hemorrhoids. They seem to only stop bothering me for days at a time and then *bam* they’re back. When reading on how to treat hemorrhoids I always see "stop smoking/stop drinking"…but I don’t see how either would effect hemorrhoids…so how does smoking or drinking "cause" hemorrhoids?

Do I Have a Hemorrhoid?

Apparently I may have a hemorrhoid, but IT DOESN’T HURT! The only reason I noticed it was because of the seemingly open bleeding in that area!

Why do I get a hemorriod the next morning from a night of drinking?

I have had a hemorrhoid on and off for a month or so now. I have been taking metamucil fiber supplements and have been eating better with exercise. It all helps alot, but every weekend when I drink alot of beer, the next morning I have massive diarrhea that causes this. It also seems that any time I have diarrhea I get a hemorrhoid? Why does it only happen then?
