Can you pop a Hemorrhoid?
Im 15, and i have an external hermorrhoid. It has come up in about 4 days, and is now a dark red/purple colour. i was wondering if i can pop it, or will it pop on its own. if i leave it, wot will happen? will it eventually go away? thanx

If you pop it you could be in BIG trouble, you could bleed to death! Don’t try it.
You can treat it with suppositories bought from a chemist but as you are so young you should see a doctor about it before you self treat.

NO! Go to your doctor. Metamucil will not hurt you. Take one teaspooon of Metamucil a day with a meal. Then get to that doctor as soon as you can.
Don’t push when you’re going to the bathroom. In fact, instead of pushing, try ‘pulling’, no matter what your body tells you to. Lean from side to side when you’re on the toilet. You want to avoid that surgery if at all possible.
And again, go to the doctor!

You cannot "pop" it. You can try an OTC hemorrhoid medication and soaking in warm water but if it doesn’t begin to resolve soon it will need evaluation by a physician as they can sometimes be thrombosed which mean has a large blood clot in it. If that is the case and yours sounds like it might, it will need opened and drained.

Why are you looking that close at your bum?! Geese!
The answer- if it is sever enough, your doctor can tie it off.
Otherwise, consider Preparation H with hydro-cortisone cream in it. This will shrink the hemorrhoid. In the future, it would be best to eat more fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise (to prevent constipation). Moreover, don’t strain when you have a BM. Let everything come out in its own time…
It is dark red/purple because it is a vein- meaning that there is blood in it- popping would not be a good idea and could set you up for infection. Who has ever thought of "popping" a hemorrhoid? You, my friend, have too much time on your hands. he he

Let a physician do this little inscision, in a sterile fashion or you may end*up with an infection. In the mean time sit in warm tub water. Barb E

if you try and pop it you will die from the pain

I wouldn’t advise it as it is a swollen vein. Might bleed pretty badly, get infection, etc. Better ask a Doctor’s advice or the school nurse.
You are young for hemorrhoids. It might be a cancher sore or other problem. Don’t try to be your own doctor.
