Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice?
in Health ·
Hey, good evening.
So, basically, two days after my last bathroom trip, I felt this weird, slight discomfort when I sat down at my computer. But honestly, I've had stuff like that before whenever my digestion is being stubborn, so I didn't really think much of it. But today... well, while wiping, I actually felt a little lump. I checked it in the mirror, and it’s just this skin-colored bump right on the edge of the anus.
My first thought was maybe hemorrhoids? But I'm kind of stressing out because I'm only 16, plus it doesn't even hurt or bleed, which just makes me more confused, I guess.
Does anyone have any clue what this might be? I'd seriously love to avoid having to talk to my parents or go to a doctor about this unless it's absolutely necessary. Maybe I should just wait a few days and hope it just goes away on its own? 😢
