Accepted Answer

: If over the counter pain medications like acetaminophen are not helpful and pain is severe and interfering with your life, it would be prudent to go to the ER.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

can vaginal intercourse make my internal hemorrhoids worsen? i have this problem for six months, but am going to get married. though now i am feeling better, i am still afraid of having sex?

Accepted Answer

: Although vaginal intercourse can affect the anal area and probably cause engorgement of external hemorrhoids, I'm not sure if internal hemorrhoids would be similarly affected. Since this issue is important for your reassurance, I recommend consulting a proctologist who can examine you and advise you.

Question 4

if i have hemorrhoids, and my partner and i have vaginal intercourse, can he potentially get an infection from that? he is having painful urination and it's been 5 days sense we engaged in the activity, both of us have tested clean of sti's

Accepted Answer

Shouldn't matter: Your hemorrhoids should have no effect on his problem. They are physical growths due to dilated veins, not an infection. Vaginal intercourse would not place him at risk from your hemorrhoids. However, if you have picked up a STD like chlamydia or gonorrhea they can easily give his such symptoms.

Question 5

can i have vaginal sex if i have hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It will not affect your hemorrhoid.

Question 6

i am experiencing  hemorrhoids. can it be worsen by vaginal sex?

Accepted Answer

No: Hemorroids are in your rectum and anus and vaginal sex will not make it worse

Question 7

what to do if i have pinworm, hemorrhoid or vaginal infection?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: All of these can be treated.  Please see your doctor for an exam to confirm the diagnoses, then take the medication prescribed and carry out the care prescribed with precision.

Question 8

could i have gotten hemorrhoids from giving birth vaginally?

Accepted Answer

Indirectly: Pregnancy itself causes pelvic pressure & can cause women to get hemorrhoids. A vaginal delivery itself could aggravate the hemorrhoid veins that are already present, but not likely to have caused them to form in the first place.

Question 9

i have internal hemorrhoids. i'm a male. will regular vaginal intercouse affect them at all?

Accepted Answer

No: Straining to have bowel movements, lifting, or chronic deep coughing can make the hemorrhoids worse but vaginal intercourse with a woman should have no effect on a man's hemorrhoids.

Question 10

can hemorrhoids cause vaginal swelling?

Accepted Answer

Should not: Should not cause vaginal swelling. Would see your gyn.
