Question 2

can hemorrhoids have pus?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids and Pus: An infected hemorrhoid may have pus, but this rarely happens.

Question 3

i have a ext-hemorrhoid. for 2 weeks .  i've been using preperation h for over a week.  now i see a yellow tip on it and yellow pus. is it infected?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: If you see yellow tip and pus, it is infected, unless the yellow is from the preparation h you've been applying on it. I suggest sitting on a warm bath, put some epsom salt in the bath. This will help calm it down and open the abscess. If it's too painful and does not open by itself, see a doctor to help drain the abscess.

Question 4

i am 18 and i had an external hemorrhoid a few months ago and it didnt go away, a few days ago a i felt a hard lump next to my anus that hurts to sit on and today pus came out of my hemorrhoid
can someone help?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoid infection: You have developed a small abscess probably from the constricted hemorrhoid. If pus is coming out you need to see your doctor so he can take a look at it

Question 5

female: i have what i thought was a hemorrhoid but now not so sure. it is a red lump by anus that has a yellow color to it very painful, no pus?

Accepted Answer

You should go see yo: You need to see your doctor for physical examination. It may be an inflamed hemorrhoid(Piles). This will need treatment otherwise you can get severely constipated and get into further trouble because of pain and inflammation/infection. Local application of medication is necessary to help you heal this area.so you should see your PCP right away in 24 hours or go to the ER for treatment.

Question 6

the er told me hemorrhoids but needed a surgeon. i thought was abcess and turns out it was it just popped and has been draining pus for hrs. do i need to go back to er. have had a slight fever today.

Accepted Answer

Draining abscess: You should either go back to the er or see your personal doctor. He may want to give you antibiotics and monitor the progress of the drainage.

Question 7

how do you keep a hemorrhoid from bursting open and leaking puss?

Accepted Answer

Don't: Henmorrhoids rarely get infected. If a swelling near the anus burst and discharges purulence it is more likely a rectal abscess and may have a fistula associated with it, which may require surgery to prevent recurrence. See a colon and rectal surgeon for evaluation.

Question 8

what is the best way to keep a hemorrhoid from bursting open and leaking puss?

Accepted Answer

See a surgeon: See a surgeon and get the hemorrhoid or from that description the abscess or fistula treated. This will involve antibiotics and a surgical procedure to carefully examen the area, "exam under anesthesia, " and treat it at the same time.

Question 9

i have an infected hemorrhoid that leaks puss. over the counter medication or go to the doctor?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: If you are concerned about an infection, over the counter products will not be effective. If there is pus or infection, see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 10

i have constipation, a wheezy chest, a small external hemorrhoid and a leaking bladder.  could they be connected?

Accepted Answer

All? No.: Your constipation may lead to bowel habits that worsen a hemorrhoid, but your respiratory and bladder problems are likely unrelated.
