tmi hemorrhoids

TMI TMI TMI

I got one. I noticed it yesterday. It is making sitting very annoying. It doesn't hurt but it aches and itches. I think it is an external one. I can physically push it back into my anus and then it doesn't hurt as much.

I am using preparation h, witch hazel wipes, and a heating pad. Not sure if it is helping yet. I am terrified of a future BM. When should I go to a doctor about this?

When should I go to a doctor about this?
If the cream hasn't helped in two weeks or if you start having them regularly. No reason to worry, if this is your first one. Sitting less if possible (and all the usual health advice) might help as well.

I have had them before but like once a year sort of thing and never as bad as this one. Meaning I can feel them with my finger but they don't itch or anything.

I've had one before and it was not a picnic. I think it was about 2 weeks before it went away. I think bathing in epsom salt really helped for me. Good luck!

I have one, I've had it for years (I have IBS-A). This is what I do: 1.) Use witch hazel pads and Preparation H ointment for bad flare ups, they really help, 2.) Add more water and fiber to your diet but add the fiber gradually, and 3.) Keep the area CLEAN. If you are itchy, you are not clean. Use baby wipes when you poop. Wrap a wipe around your fingertip and clean yourself carefully, use a witch hazel pad to finish and then pat dry (don't wipe) with clean toilet paper. If you're irritated and dry back there, use a little coconut oil on a cotton pad and dab the oil on. Coconut oil is anti-inflammatory. And finally, if things get worse or don't improve within a week or two, see a doctor.

I am trying to drink more. I am dreading having to poop cuz I know it is going to hurt. I hope it doesn't like...burst an artery.

A stool softener might help with that, and if you go that route, be sure to get a softener only, not a softener/laxative.
