Hey there,

I could really use some advice here... I'm 25 years old and I've dealt with hemorrhoid issues a few times now. Usually, I just manage them in about 5 or 6 days by applying cream consistently. This time, it’s been almost three weeks since the hemorrhoids flared up, and the timeline has looked something like this... during the first week, I had mild pain and itching, and I could feel a larger lump. By the second week, the itching had subsided slightly and the lump started shrinking a little bit. Now, heading into the third week, there are actually days where I completely forget I even have them. When I check, the lump has shrunk, but not quite enough yet. My bowel movements have stayed perfectly regular and normal throughout the whole thing. I actually stopped using the cream for a bit because I read somewhere that you shouldn't apply it constantly for long periods... so I'm wondering if I should switch up my ointment, or maybe adjust my diet? Currently, I'm mostly eating vegetables and avoiding anything too spicy. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated

Best,

Hey there,

So, about three days ago, I woke up dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain around my anal area. I went to the restroom and felt this little lump, and honestly, sitting down has been a total pain—I can only manage to sit on soft cushions or something similar right now. I’ve been browsing through various stories here from people with similar symptoms like stinging and all that, and it feels like I might just have hemorrhoids like most others, except in my case, there hasn't been any blood at all. I picked up some over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream and have been applying it for two days already; I'm not entirely sure if it's clearing up as fast as I'd hoped, though it seems to be helping a tiny bit... does anyone happen to know if this could be something else or maybe ?? Thanks in advance 🙂
