A member asked:

I have a hemorrhoid since friday, yesterday it started bleeding when trying to excrete, it bleeds the odd time now. i'm only 22. should i see a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: Hemorrhoidal bleeding is common and most often occurs with defecation, particularly if you have straining with passing stool. Your physician may recommend stool softeners particularly bulking agents such as Benefiter or Metamucil which should be taken with meals. There are other remedies as well but try not to spend a lot of time on the toilet (less than 3 min). Doubt intervention is necessary.
