Question by : How long will my Hemorrhoids last?
So I am 18 and I just got hemorrhoids. They hurt for around two weeks or so. My mom gets them all the time and so did my Grandpa, so it is in my family big time. They didn’t hurt anymore after those two weeks but they are still there in my butthole and it has been a month and two weeks. There is no pain just maybe a little itching at times and sometimes that uncomfortable feeling of just knowing that they are there but nothing serious. I am able to live my life naturally and not worry about them, in fact, I always forget I have them till I go to the bathroom now.
My mom says that once you get them they can heal but sometimes they will just stay there for a long time but not cause pain. Is this normal or no? I always ask to go to a doctor just to get them checked up but she insists I don’t need to and that it’s fine. I am working on my diet and eating a lot of fiber and drinking a lot of water. I cut out fast food and trying to cut down on my soda intake (hard to do!!). Whenever I sit now too, it’s on a nice fluffy pillow except in school. So based on the information I gave you, I’ll ask you again, should I be worrying?

your only 18, you shouldn’t have to deal with that at your age…
i would suggest getting them removed…
are you in school? the surgery should be covered by insurance…
