Hemmorhoids... How do you know if you have em?

Short of trying to bend over in front of a mirror and looking (which would be a feat!) how do you know if you have them?

  • You could use a hand mirror or just feel the area. If there is anything sticking out, you have them.

  • If it hurts/bleeds when you have a bowel movement. It also tends to get itchy down there when you have roids. Look/feel for a pea sized bump around the rim. I am SO not looking forwars to this again after birth..ugh.

    Pea sized? After birth? I'm jealous on both accounts.

  • Lord, you just know if/when you have them. I got 2 external ones 2 weeks ago in the matter of a day. It.was.awful. They're terrible. Maybe TMI, but I have to wipe my rear for like 2 minutes every time I have a BM in order to get everything nice and clean. Plus I have to use moist wipes. Grrr.... not a good time.

  • Oh you know!!  You will feel little lumps when y ou wipe, and having a BM will hurt like hellll!  Pea sized is about right for me, unless they are swollen, then it's more like small grapes!  Baby wipes will be your best friend for wiping!

  • Yeah, there should be no doubt if you have one.  If it's internal, you'll have bleeding after #2 but that's about it.  If it's external, it will hurt and you can feel a lump.  If it's external and thrombosed, you will cry hysterically and hope some drug works a miracle on them.
