OT: I think I have a hemaroid- HELP!

I need some help, I think I have a hemaroid. What should I do? I have never had one before, but I have been constipated (as usual) and all of a sudden something back there started hurting *blush*. I just am not sure what to take. There was a little blood when I went #2 this morning. Advice is appreciated. ~Carla

Oh I feel your pain... I am prone to them and I hate it. What you need to do is go get some epson salt and soak in a hot bath with the epson salt. Just enough water to cover your bum, you do not need to fill the bath tub. I have also used the Preperation H cream and wipes. I use the wipes after doing #2 to make sure you are very clean. They are flushable. And the cream after I clean. I almost always have to go get medication from the Doctor because I usually bleed. If the over the counter stuff does not work, go to the Doctor. I hope this helps. Julie
