Start with topicals: Minor hemorrhoids usually respond to conservative measures such as topical remedies and warm soaks. Hemorrhoids usually are not related to abdominal pain, so that may need to be evaluated as a separate problem by your doctor. Hemorrhoid symptoms that persist should be evaluated by primary care doctor or someone who specializes in ano-rectal disorders.

Go to the Doctor: It is very unusual to experience abdominal pain from a hemorrhoid. Abdominal pain is never ignored. Please have him get to the family medical clinic today.

Usually not related: I would have to say that hemorrhoids don't cause abdominal pain. Usually is a non related problem, but a problem that needs to be cared for. Please go to www.fascrs.org and under a "locate a colon a rectal surgeon" look for a doctor near by so he can be seen and his abdominal pain can be addressed. All best!

Not possible: Hemorrhoid tissue is a normal part of our anatomy found at the very end of the rectum/anus. It would be impossible for them to be related to abdominal pain. Now constipation can cause abdominal discomfort and straining can cause the hemorrhoids to flare up. Most important thing to prevent constipation and therefore hemorrhoid flare ups is adequate fluid and fiber in your diet.
