hemorrhoid! I have some questions, please help! I'm only 22?
I noticed a few days ago that I have a small hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid might be 1 cm wide if not a little smaller. I think it came from being constipated from me not drinking water. So after drinking a lot of water yesterday I was finally able to go to the bathroom after 3 days of constipation. I’m wondering if the hemorrhoid will start to go down while my system becomes regular again. It’s small, no discoloration, no bleeding, no pain. I only found it was there because of a small itch. I’m using prep H. I was also wondering if it’s ok to have regular (vaginal) sex while the hemorrhoid is there/hopefully going down.
I want to go see a doctor of course but I have no insurance. I’m afraid if I go they will tell me to just use prep H and wait since the hemorrhoid doesn’t bleed, is discolored, or hurt. 0 just for that. Of course if something happened I would go no matter what the cost.

No need to see a doctor…millions of people have hemorrhoids. For the future..stay hydrated…and take your time in the bathroom. For now keep applying the prep h…don’t bear down…and even try to "digitally reduce" the roid by pushing it back up inside the anal sphincter.

You’ll be fine. I understand the horror. I actually got a hemorrhoid when I was 19, and it was not fun! It will go away in about a week or so. I know it may sound disgusting, but the suppositories will make go away in like 2 days, and they aren’t any worse than having the hemorrhoid in the first place, so why not?
You’ll be fine to have intercourse, but try not to strain when you go number 2. Also, keep some of that prep H on hand, you’re one of those who is more prone to the big H’s, unfortunately. I have had them 3 or 4 times in the past 5 years, and it’s really not that big of a deal. You have no reason to go to the doc, they won’t be able to do anything about it. Just wear some loose-fitting pants for a few days and sit on one cheek instead of 2
good luck!

Don’t go to the doctor unless it begins to bleed. Stay hydrated, eat plenty of fruits and veggies for fiber, eat bread only if it’s wholegrain. Also, you may want to buy these medicated wipes with witch-hazel… They work really well for temporary relief.

I agree with tex. Millions of people every day suffer from hemorrhoids. No need to see a doctor. Even if its bleeding unless the blood is almost black in color which means internal bleeding. But if the blood is bright red then it is fresh(if possible) blood and no need to see a doctor. Hey, happens to the best of us.

There is no problem of having sex. You can help curing faster is you make some changes in your diet – have 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods. See link below for a list of alkaline and acid forming foods.
Further avoid all soda, coffee, black tea, alcohol, bier, spicy foods. Drink water – cool, refreshing water preferably with a good pH between 7.5 and 7.9.
Constipation is caused also by acid forming foods – alkaline forming foods are stimulating digestion.
If you don’t see any improvement with prep. H, try Rue Care Oil. On the contrary to prep H, Rue Care Oil is completely natural.
