Is this haemorrhoids? (Warning: photo included)

Posted , 3 users are following.

I am hoping someone is able to inform me just by looking at the photo if this is a haemorrhoid. 

I have never had (that I’m aware of, anyway) one so I am not familiar with them. My sister and mother have had them, but obviously I’m too embarrassed to show them the photo.

I was on amoxicillin after a hospital stay last month that first created diahhrea and then constipation, perhaps this is what has caused it? And I was doing a lot of heavy lifting at work as well. 

If it is haemorrhoid, what am I best to do to help heal them? I have cream and wipes at home.

      Yes they look like them. Eat extra fiber and use hemoriod Cream. Don’t strain on toilet as that will make them worse. Plus drink as much water as you can too!!!

    I would go to your doctor they have seen this all before. They will give you cream. Eat high fibre diet and drink plenty of water. Do not strain on BM.

      Thanks Mary. I have a doctors appointment this Monday so I’ll get it checked out and see what they can do for me.
