How do i treat/get rid of a thrombosed hemorrhoid?
It’s about the size of a pinto bean and there’s a blot clot on it. It has recently stopped bleeding so much, but now i can’t push it back in ! it’s not really painful as much as it’s annoying and gross. What do i do?? Do i need to go to the doctor or let it heal? ANY advice…please!!!

You might not need to go back to the doc.
Do not strain when you go to the toilet – you can apply, very gently, some type of hydrocortisone ointment 1% – or hemorrhoid medicine for the pain.
(I have dealt with these types of hemorrhoid problems off and on for many years)
However, if the bleeding starts again – you really should be seen by your doc. – bleeding hemorrhoids can cause anemia over time.
there are quite a few new treatments for hemorrhoids, that didn’t used to be available some years ago.
Just be very gentle with your toilet habits .
Edit – Just give it a week and see if it resolves on its own.
If not, and it is still bothersome – see your doc.
A lot of them resolve on their own.

Hemorrhoids are basically mass of swollen veins inside the rectum or bulge outside the anus. Both kinds can become itchy and painful, and they can also bleed.

I would suggest that you consult your doctor.
