Is It normal for 17 year old girls to have hemorrhoids?
I am a 17 year old female and for the last 6 months or so have noticed blood on the toilet paper when I wipe.
I was just wondering how common is it for girls of my age to have hemorrhoids?
I have not been to see my doctor about it, I am just assuming thats what I have. Because there is no chance it could be anything worse is there?

anyone can get them. you don,t have to be old. you can get them at any age. just lay off the meat some and eat more fiber and drink lots of water.

Is your bum burning and itchy and swollen? if it is, go to the drug store and buy some Preparation H.

I’ve had hemorrhoids since I was 18, and my mom had them at that age too. That’s probably what it is. No need to make a special trip to the doctor unless something else about your body has also changed, but the next time you see her, mention it so she knows. Eat a lot of fiber.

You have had this for 6 months? Wow. How stupid are you to wait that long? See a Doctor ASAP!

I’m 17 aswell and have hemorrhoids I freeked out cause I thought only old people get them. It’s so uncomfortable I can’t play around or be touched by my boyfriend any more I hate being restricted from doing things because of them
