I could just die! I've been constipated for a while now and my toosh has been a little sore but I ignored it thinking it was just from harder poohs, but last night I realized it's hemroids! AAAAHHHH! Help! I'm only 30 and I'm scared! I just read some stuff online that says once you have them, you have them for life, and it sounds like it can get really, really painful if you don't follow a particular diet, even for one day! Yikes! I don't want them to get worse. I'm going to try see my doc today to see what to do - I have NO idea. I don't think anyone in my immediate family has ever had them, cause they would tell me what it involved...oiy, I don't know what to think. Does anyone have ANY advice? Just don't know what to trust when I read stuff online, but know I can trust the advice in this group. Thanks guys.
