hemorrhoids?
I have had blood in my stool around the last 5 times I went to the bathroom. I asked my mom about it, and she said it was probably just a small tear. I am concerned it might by hemorrhoids! I does hurt when I go to the bathroom ( it feels like scabs ar being picked off). But I am only 13!!!
my question is: does this sound like hemorrhoids, and if so, how do i ask my mom to take me to the doctor?
I have been eating healthier and exercizing, so will they just go away on their own if they are hemorrhoids?

In rare cases hemorrhoids go away on their own. If you have hard bowel movement, increase the intake of fiber (fruits and veggies) and drink lots of water (not cola, or other soft drinks!!!). Soft drinks DO NOT help to have soft bowel movement. Furthermore, remember that if you only increase the fruits and vegetables, it will not help. Only FRUITS+VEGGIES+WATER help to avoid constipation. If you are sitting for longer periods of time (school, computer etc) remember to make short breaks and make some exercise to help with blood circulation. Wash gently the area every time after bowel movement. Dry the area gently. Use toilet paper without perfume. Read on the below link about other causes of hemorrhoids, and about diet and prevention.
