Yes ma’am they are hemorrhoids. I had the same thing for a very long long time after giving birth to my son. You need to drink a glass of fiber therapy every day, like metamucil everyday for 3 weeks. This will make your bowel movements soft so that you can heal. Every time you have a hard bowel movement it aggravates the hemorrhoids an causes them to bleed, so you never heal. This is also very painful and makes you feel as though you are pooping razor blades. You’ll be fine however you may need to come back to the fiber therapy again down the road if you are prone to having the problem. Drink your fiber religiously and they will clear up. Oh drink lots of water too.

They are probably hemorrhoids. If they itch like crazy, they’re definitely hemorrhoids. They will go away eventually. It takes about 1-2 weeks for a small one (about the size of a pea) to heal on its own. Just be careful, and…. gentle…

It sounds like hemorrhoids. You should talk to your doctor about them. Some of them don’t ever really go away unless with surgery, but there are ways to treat them so they don’t become inflamed and so painful.
