How old are people typically when they get hemorrhoids?

I have just recently discovered a hemorrhoid and I am an 18 year old female that bathes regularly, do not engage in anal sex and never have constipation problems that would cause me to strain. The only thing recently that I can think of that might have caused it was from being sick but that sickness only lasted less than 24 hours. What is the most likely cause for this hemorrhoid then? And how long will it probably be there?

  1. You don’t have to have constipation to get hemorrhoids you can get them several ways.
    There are many causes of internal hemorrhoids. Some of the more common ones include:
    -straining during a bowel movement
    -sneezing or coughing
    -diarrhea
    -vomiting
    -pregnancy
    -sitting a lot
    -eating a low fiber diet

  2. The food you eat, if you eat a lot of junk food that’s bad for the colon.

  3. You can get them at any age.They can be caused by irritation, or possibly having been ill,and taking anti-biotics.I use preperation H. It is very helpful.They are healed in 3 to 7 days ,with medication.

  4. there is no age limit. drink more water, avoid milk products, eat more fiber, and see your gyn.

  5. You can get them at any age, and they will go away. For itching or pain related to hemorrhoids, use a topical antibiotic cream or some preperation H. I’ve always just used triple antibiotic ointment and it heals up in a couple days. I can’t tell you the exact cause of what you have, because I’m not a doctor. I wouldn’t worry about it too much though, as long as you’re not bleeding profusely. Good luck :)

  6. It is bogus when people say only old people get hemorrhoids, I have had them since I was 18 as well. Things you have to know about hemorrhoids, they can be present in a small form and you won’t even feel them until one day they pop out because of a small strain and causes problem. If it is not bleeding, then try to drink alot of water , and I mean.. ALOT like a gallon if you can. Alot of salads, and fruits. Everyday for like a week, if not for the rest of your life since it’s better to create a good habit of eating healthy.
    If it doesn’t cause major pain, you should be fine soon.

  7. Hey, hemorrhoids can last anywhere from a couple of weeks through to years. As you know they are most often caused by constipation and or straining. You can also get them by sitting down for too long so if you are studying a lot or have a sit down job - this could be the problem.
    Either way - you need to focus on curing the problem now :-)
    I recommend natural hemorrhoid cures - you can find out mroe about these at the page listed below.
    Hope this helps,
