After noticing a thrombosed hemorrhoid about year ago, I've been dealing with hemorrhoids since.

1.  One of the most annoying things (that I have not been able to find any information on) is wiping my butt.  I will wipe my butt clean after a bm.  Without fail for then the next 3-4 hours some excess fecal matter will make it's way out.  So to deal with this, I will wipe (pat with wet towelette) my butt about once an hour for 3-4 hours after a bm.  This is not fun to deal with, as my drawers are a little dirtier and I have a waiting period when it comes to sex.


2.  Sex.  I feel like there are a couple blueberries or cherries shoved up my butt when I have sex.


Other than that my hemorrhoids give no problems.  I eat a high fibrous diet, take horsechestnut / butchers broom daily.  I take clear med if hemorrhoids seem prominent.  With every bm there is a small hemorrhoid that peaks out, but goes away upon standing up.  And has anyone else noticed the horse-chestnut (or especially the clear-med) makes the libido go through the roof?

Well, just an update.  I went to the doctor and I had a thrombosed external hemroid.  The doctor did not offer any information i was not able to find online and he told me to just keep doing what I was doing.  In that case, I got nothing out of the visit.  It was good to learn it was thrombosed, because I was pretty convinced it wasn't. 
My experience was the pain was ridiculous for about 1 week, then it was mild for 3 to 4 more days.  I feel completely better now, but still leary of getting on a bicycle or something like that.  The blood clot (thrombosed hemroid) never drained out externally, the doctor said to expect some blood to come out and don't be alarmed.  Never happened.  Just left with some extra skin.

Thanks for writing back.  It has been almost a week and my hemroid is about the size of a peanut m&m or grape now.  A little bigger than the original blueberry size.  And I have to say, I now understand the phrase "pain in the butt."  This has turned into an unbearable and throbbing pain in the butt.  I take two warm baths a day w/ epsom salt, apply preparation H & witch hazel.  And it is still just brutal with no sign of getting better.  So I caved in and am going to the doctor Monday.

First off, thanks for the great site, it has been by far the most useful site I've come across on the internet.  Right now, I'm out of work and have no plans to visit a doctor, but I definitely have a hemroid.  I am looking for any additional information someone can offer.  And also if I am being an idiot not going to the doctor, my initial thoughts are to wait at least a week before I consider a doctor visit.

So I have an external hemroid about the size of a blueberry (looked at it and it looks exactly like pictures I saw online).  There has been no bleeding or signs of blood.  I am a 32 year old male and in very good shape.  On Friday I had a large bowel movement where I strained quite a bit.  I felt uncomfortable afterwards but not in pain.  On saturday I had another bowel movement that was quite uncomfortable.  However it wasn't until I went to the gym and exercised that things became painful.  I came home, looked with a mirror and saw the hemroid, like a fleshy blueberry right on the side of my anus.  I can sit, cough, walk.  I can do all this, but with an accompanying pain (mild pain).  The exercising seemed to really push things over the edge, making the problem go from "I feel funny after a bowel movement" to "straight up pain".  I plan to wait until next thursday before even thinking of consulting a doctor.  I figure a couple of days of taking it real easy should make things go away.  I plan on icing it, laying down mostly, eating prunes, only wiping once with wet toilet paper after a bowel movement and then taking a shower, drinking lots of chamomile tea and avoiding alcohol, meat and dairy.
