Hemorrhoids When To Seek Treatment
When should I medically treat my haemorrhoid?
I’ve had it for 3 days… and it hasn’t seemed to get much better. I’ve been using Preperation H as well as icing it and takin warm baths often. I have been laying most of the time, as this makes it less painfull. It is definitly external, I’m 15, female, and I was wondering if I should wait longer to have it go away on its own, or if I should seek medical treatment. Will it be gone by monday, maybe?
It is odd for someone so young to develop one but it should subside on its own. If it does not a doctor may drain the inflamed vein or recommend other treatment. You may be straining while defecating or sitting on the bowl too long. If you need to take stool softeners temporarily, do so.
