I have a problem and I am super embarrassed.

Ok. Here goes.

I think I have a hemorrhoid.

I have never had one before. And I don't understand why I got it. I drink tons of water. I exercise every day. I eat really well!

So, anyway. How the fuck do I get rid of this thing????

Go to the doctors and get an actual diagnosis and then go from there?

ETA: Don't be embarrassed! Just go get fixed up so you aren't uncomfortable.

If it is one small one, I don't think a trip to the doctor is necessary.

But she has no idea if it is a hemorrhoid or not, and neither do we.

Totally fair. But it is also a super common medical condition that is really easy to diagnose. If it doesn't go away with OTC treatments, I would go to the doctor.

So are yeast infections but every year tons of women improperly self diagnose and treat themselves.

If you aren't sure of something going on with your health, best to just see a doctor.

Yeah, "Weird growth on asshole" falls squarely in the "definitely needs medical attention" category.

*I might feel differently if you had one before and really knew what to look for.

Yeah the bolded is the main reason I suggested the trip to a doc.

Sitz bath. Use Tucks medicated wipes EVERY time you poop. Use Prep H. Don't wear thongs. And if the pain gets worse, it gets larger or you start bleeding when you poop, get yourself to a butt doctor.

All of this.

jenna8984 · January 2015

I'm so glad that no one has told me about theirs before!

When I got my first UTI, I suffered with it for 3 days because I was a teenager so I was terrified to tell my mom that it burned when I peed! I finally had to tell her and when the pills made it feel better in a matter of hours I felt like such a fool for not speaking up sooner!

sarahufl · January 2015

My niece was the most beautiful newborn

My other 2 nieces, not so much. They were adorable and I loved them right away but at least one looked like she had gotten into a big fight.

My friend is a crunchy hippie midwife and she encapsulated her placenta. I don't find it strange. Not for me, but she liked it.

What I do find TERRIBLE is people who serve it to other humans. Just. No.

lacqueredlover · January 2015

FYI, if you do have to go to the butthole dr, it will be the most hilarious/ridiculous experience of your life. I had to go once and they literally put me on my knees in front of this table and then LIFTED MY ASS INTO THE AIR. I was dying. I called my mom hysterically laughing afterwards about how funny it was.

When it comes to the asshole, sometimes you gotta laugh

jenna8984 · January 2015

Wait, they aren't talking about that in the pregnant lady thread....so where did that belong? Lol

It's in the "does this seem inappropriate to anyone else" thread.

ETF: Words. I didn't have coffee this morning. Oops.

kvruns · January 2015

hmmm so how does one know if they have one? I'm with the other PP who didn't really know what it was although I've heard the term and know it's something with your butt. If your Bhole hurts when you go then you have one? Or just sitting around hurts?

I don't know why I'm asking these questions other than I guess storing knowledge for later potentially!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR KNOTTING AT WORK WHILE THERE ARE REAL THINGS HAPPENING.

Sorry, ladies- carry on.

But isn't she so pretty?!

I am laughing and cringing at the same time, ladies. Who knew a hemmorhoid could be so debatable!

Well you've never had one before and depending on your symptoms it could be anything from a hemorrhoid to an anal fissure to Pruritis ani to genital warts to rectal cancer.

I feel like that is some unnecessary fear mongering. My headache is probably caused by the bottle of wine I drank with dinner last night, but it *could* be a symptom of brain cancer so I should probably call a neurologist right away, right?

Drink lots of water, eat some yogurt, take a sitz bath and throw some Preparation H on there. If it doesn't go away in a couple of days, then consider calling a doctor.

But yes, she is soooo pretty. I don't always find newborns cute, but she is adorable!!

And about 80% of women think they have a yeast infection and self medicate, when in fact they don't. Not to mention the fact that you've had a headache before, so you know what that feels like.

Since OP has never had a hemorrhoid before I suggested she actually see someone about it, depending on her symptoms, because yes it could be something else that warrants different treatment.

I mentioned some other possibilities just to prove a point- not because I think it's likely she has cancer ><

Why, hello, WebMD! O.O

(TOTALLY not trying to be mean. But, like, hemorrhoid to rectal cancer... come on... it was funny... no? I guess I'll move on then. >.> <.< >.>)

BUTT BABY!

Must be to be on this thread, right?

Also I'm silently heave-giggling at every mention of the word "butthole."

PrettyGirlLost · January 2015

Actually I asked one of the Pathologists who just happened to walk in at the wrong time ;-)

She was like, "Um, why is she posting on the internet and not going to see her PCP?" I asked the Pathologist if she wanted to see one of the pregnancy related threads on here and she said maybe another time, lol.

No, I don't think OP has rectal cancer. . . neither did the pathologist. You guys are still misisng the point, though, so carry on!

I will say that I'm totally on your side here. Something weird going on with my bum, I'm going to the doctor (if I can - I did have some weird thing going on when I was already sick that was like the worst bruised tailbone ever, but it went away on its own after about a week, and since I'd just private-paid for one urgent care visit, I couldn't afford another).

Actually that's probably just gas- the symptoms are very similar though.

Totally trying not to be offended here. I just noticed it this morning. I am the only one at the office. I cannot leave here to go to the doctor, even if my PCP could fit me in this morning. So, I posted to see if anyone had any advice. Honestly, I'm sorry I even did post this now.

Yeah this is my decision tree:

1. Is it my HooHah or Ass? If Yes then
2. Is it something funky? If Yes then
3. Go to the Dr.

Anything else I just rub dirt on it and call it a day.

Offended by what? I don't think that PGL was suggesting that you drop everything and go to the doctor, right this second.

You posted asking for advice, and got lots. On piece of (pretty solid) advice was that you should also see your doctor, in case it is something else.

What is the big deal?

Offended about what? What the pathologist said?

It was just dry humor or sarcasm. She would honestly fit right in here on some of your threads.
