Topic: Please help. No idea what to do
Hi. I have been trying to research the topic of hemorrhoids and I was never able to find anything until I found your website, which was very helpful. I'm barely 20 years old who is athletic and I have never heard of hemorrhoids until a week ago. I went to go use the bathroom at school and was terrified at the fact that I saw alot of bright blood on the toilet. I suddenly became frightened and didn't know what to do. I thought it was that I cut myself some how because I felt a sharp pain internally. I followed by asking my mother and she described to me that this might be an internal hemorrhoid. It properly was not right but she gave me a couple of suppositories to use. It has been a week now and the bleeding stopped but I can still feel a bother internally especially when i use the bathroom. It does not itch either. Im going to go to the doctor next week but I wanted to know is it ok for a 20 year old to get hemorrhoids? Also, I wanted to know what I can take and what type of food should I start eating and if I should stop doing exercise because I run about twice a week not alot but I worry if i should stop? Another question I had was that I unfortunately have HPV and I wondered if this had any correlation with that STD? Any info would be obliged.
