Question 1

i am 17, i was in a car accident last night and and woke up with what appears to be an external hemorrhoid . could the accident be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: unless you had direct trauma to the area or you became constipated because of stress.  If it persists, you should show it to your doctor, because it could be something else.

Question 2

what happens you get a external hemorrhoid banded?

Accepted Answer

Painful: There are internal & external hemorrhoids. Internal ones can be banded because there are no skin nerve pain fibers, as compared to external ones. External ones have skin pain nerve fibers & would not be comfortable to band those. Banding internal hemorrhoids may make the external ones resolve if they are not too large.

Question 3

can you get hemorrhoids from simply wiping too hard?

Accepted Answer

No: Hemorrhoids are congenital accelerated by constipation and straining at stool

Question 4

how to get rid of hemorrhoid pain?

Accepted Answer

Pain: From hemorrhoids is usually due to an external hemorrhoid issue. If they are just swollen, bed rest for 24-48 hours and warm tub soaks work best. If it is thrombosed or clotted, seeing a colorectal surgeon to incise and drain will get the most prompt response. Be sure your pain is not due to an anal fissure as that is sometimes present and needs different treatment.

Question 5

how do i get rid of hemorrhoid????

Accepted Answer

Start with an exam: The place to start is with an examination by a general or colorectal surgeon. That doctor will be able to assess if you (a) have hemorrhoids and (b) need treatment. All human beings have normal hemorrhoidal cushions in their lower rectum and anus.

Once you have been examined, the surgeon can give you a treatment plan. This plan may include surgery.

Question 6

can you get hemorrhoids from anal?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Trauma to the ano-rectal region may result in an anal fissure (a tear in the lining) which can be painful.  Hemorrhoids are normal swellings of tissue in the anal canal, and are aggravated by straining, hard stools, and poor bowel habits.

Question 7

can external hemorrhoids get bigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hemorrhoids ate veins under the skin in the anal area. They become enlarged or irritated with constipation & sitting at the toilet straining  too long. The veins can continue to enlarge with repeated irritation from constipation. Dink more water, eat more fiber (fruits & vegetables, metamucil).

Question 8

how can a 7 month old get hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

I've never seen it: I see skin tags on a kids bottom occasionally & they often have a scratch inside their anus that bleeds if stool is hard are too large. Neither are a sign of hemorrhoids. I have never seen a true hemorrhoid in a kid in 3 decades of practice.

Question 9

how do women in mid twenties get hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Risk Factors?: Factors that impact hemorrhoids include: straining w bowel movements, pregnancy, obesity, sitting on the toilet for a long time, aging, heredity, constipation, or over-use of laxatives/ enemas. Just being in an upright position puts pressures on the veins that form hemorrhoids.

Question 10
