What is a Hemorrhoid?
It really hurts when i go to the bathroom and i dont know what it is. I havent told anyone and how do I get rid of the hemorrhoid. I do not want to get it surgically removed. But it is an external one. It is very painful and I am about 13 i have had this for 2 months now or maybe one but if anyone knows how i can get rid of it unpainfully and how long they ussaully last. i need help and I hope you can answer these questions resonably. Thank you.

It is an abnormally enlarged vein mainly due to a persistent increase in venous pressure, occurring inside the anal sphincter of the rectum and beneath the mucous membrane (internal hemorrhoid) or outside the anal sphincter and beneath the surface of the anal skin (external hemorrhoid).
Start eating more fiber and drinking water to relieve constipation and try not to strain while you are on the toilet it makes your hemorrhoids worse and probably caused it in the first place. Hydrocortisone creams can be used to relieve the swelling and itching of hemorrhoids. This is generally used for external hemorrhoids and is available over-the-counter. If none of these things work you need to see a doctor.

Your options are Surgery, Creams/Gels, and Natural Cures.
As you don’t want surgery (I don’t blame you!), that leaves you with Creams/Gels and Natural Cures.
Let me explain a little more about each.
Creams and gels come under various brand names and can be found in almost any pharmacy or drug store. Most don’t require a prescription and they can usually be purchased at a reasonable price. Most creams and gels work by targeting the symptoms of hemorrhoids; this is often done by reducing the swelling of the hemorrhoid. Creams and gels do seem to provide some form of pain relief – especially when applied several times daily as directed. The downside of using creams and gels for hemorrhoid relief is that they can be annoying and difficult (not to mention painful) to apply. Applying cream 4 times daily is not always a realistic option, especially for those in the workforce. Another downside to using creams is that they can sometimes irritate the skin, and often cause a feeling of burning to the patient – how painful this feeling is varies from patient to patient.
Natural hemorrhoid cures are a good option as they are easy and convenient to use, and along with curing hemorrhoids they also offer very effective pain relief. Natural hemorrhoid cures focus on the root cause of hemorrhoids and work to eliminate underlying causes as opposed to eliminating the symptoms which is what many of the creams and ointments do. By focusing on the real cause of hemorrhoids, the hemorrhoid cure is more likely to be long lasting rather than temporary. Because natural cures work on the real underlying effect of hemorrhoids, patients tend to notice results much more quickly than with other methods. The two most popular natural hemorrhoid cures are Venapro and H Miracle. You can find out more about each through the links provided below.
