A member asked:

I'm 27 years old. am i too young to have hemorroids? i hurt my anus while wiping and its a bit swollen around the cut.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not hemorrhoid: Hemorrhoids versus something else? Pain +/- pruritis (itching) from the rectum that recurs may also indicate anal fissures, proctitis (due to infection, inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, stercoral ulcers, rectal prolapse, trauma, etc.), prctalgia fugax. Depending on your age, risk factors, current medication (aspirin, nsaid's), circumstances, you will want to get evaluated.
