Topic: Scary Situation....Please Reply
First of all, I've dealt with hemorrhoids for a long time, but I've never paid much attention to it. I have other colorectal problems, but I have only noticed hemorrhoids after straining during defacation. After reading some causes for hemorrhoids, I'm extremely worried. Here is my situation. I'm a 22 year old male and generally not a heavy drinker; however, last week I went out with some friends and had too much. I ended up blacking out and my friends said I continued to drink past my point of recollection. I woke up in the local city jail for an arrest of public intoxication. I don't even remember getting arrested. When I got home the next day I felt the familiar pain of a hemorrhoid. It was worse than any other I've ever had and it has a "tingling" sensation. Again I've only had hemorrhoids after straining in the bathroom, so naturally you know what I'm going to think after being in jail and having no recollection of it. When I saw anal intercourse as a potiential cause, I started freaking out. I was wondering if hemorrhoids could be caused by a large consumption of alcohol or if it is likely that I was raped in a cell while passed out. Someone please reply if you have any experience or advice.
