bum

If you mean bum as anus, then yes it is hemorrhoid. If you don't have much discomfort , follow these instructions before it gets worse.

Eat fruits, salads, drink atleast 6 glasses of water, drink metamucil, do enema with fleet bottle gently for easy BM. Fill fleet bottle with luke warm water. After enema lie on bed for 5 mins before BM. It will go away in 2- 3 weeks.

If you won't take care of it right away, it will be very painful and then you may have to go through surgery. Recovery from surgery is also painful will take 10 days of bed rest.

Hi Susan23 and welcome to ehealth: Soaking in a bathtub will give you relief...There are medicines that you can purchase from your druggist that you apply to the area...Ask him/her the best to use...Try and eat a lot of fiber....If you start bleeding or it doesn't go away, then see your doctor...Take care...
