:shock: i've been having a very
embarrassing problem. I believe it is a
hemroid but i'm wondering why it takes so
long to heal, and if there is anything I
can buy over the counter to heal it.
Anyhow, 3 and a half years ago I gave
birth to my first child. But, strangly,
I had no problem until the beginning of
this year. For about 4 months it
constantly felt like I had a splinter or
something just inside my (uuhhh...).
Anyhow, I was actually pretty convinced
something sharp had crept in my pants and
even tried to examine it myself. Of
course I found nothing, but I had that
sharp pain right at the tip for a good
four months. Well, now it's beginning to
bleed, maybe every third time I go to the
bathroom. And, it's actually getting
kind of painful, it almost feels like bowl
movements are getting caught up in
whatever it is that is causing me pain.
I'm also getting kind of worried that
going to the bathroom will rip the whole
thing open. Anyhow, it doesn't bleed a
whole lot, most times it's just a few
streaks on the tissue, but it is scarying
me. I have been taking preperation h,
but it doesn't seem to do much to heal it.
Also, there is nothing I can think of
that would have caused the hemroid in the
first place. It just sort of showed up
on its own. Is this a typical hemroid,
or something else? And, do hemroids
last this long?
