Will a grade 3 turn into a grade 4 if I just leave it ?

hi I’m new on here and would love some advice , a week ago I found a hemmoroid after a bowel movement which I didn’t strain at and have been pushing it back in since but it keeps coming out . ( not just after bowel movements either ) it is not painful just feels weird .I can open my bowels easily and pain free and so far no itching. My diet is great ( I’m vegan ) and I drink loads of water so do not suffer with constipation which is a mystery as too why I’ve ended up with a prolapsed pile I’ve actually named now “peri” ( because my hubby and I was thinking it could be to do with age and the peri menopause as to why it reared it’s ugly little head and we’ve named the unwelcome guest) 

anyway i I am going to the docs tomorrow and I think they will suggest banding or surgery which I’d rather not have tbh . My question is if I just leave this painless , non itchy pile will it get any worse ? 

Also will sex make it worse? 

Sorry for the the questions I will ask doctor too tomorrow . And thanks in advance .

    How do you know you have grade 3 ??

    Yes go to your doctor for them to look and advise what is best for you.

      From hours af research on line . I can push it in but it doesn’t stay in . It’s painless too. Going by various search’s this is saying it’s a grade 3 as it can be pushed back In.

    The best advice I can give you is to change the position you go to the toilet in. A go better toilet stool from the stress no more website is a fantastic investment and has cleared up my piles completely. But failing that, even a pile of books on the floor to pop your feet on to get you into a better position will help. Good luck. X

    I think you should make an appointment with your doctor not just try to work out what grade it is three or four.

    Well update ...I have been to doctor and she said it’s a grade 2 but I forgot to ask if it’s external or internal . She gave me some suppositories and says it should sort out itself . 

    I do want to share something though with people about coconut oil. Last night I put some on and up my anus and it’s instantly soothed the inflammation, this morning it is smaller and it feels less uncomfortable. So perhaps try coconut oil if you haven’t already ?

    also I was convinced I had a grade 3 but it is not below the anal spincter she says so it’s not a grade 3 despite me having to push it back . Anyway I’m so relieved I went to the doctors so if anyone ever has piles and puts it off just go , it wasn’t as embarrassing as I thought .

      Good morning...that’s good! Did you freeze the coconut oil? Also I heard good things about Aloe Vera gel as well.

      And where exactly did you get the coconut oil?  And in what section of the store? A previous poster said it was in solid form; it had to be heated.  I don't recall seeing anything like this anywhere.  Thanks.

      Hi there ,I got it from a health shop but I think supermarkets do it too . It’s solid then melts quickly on your skin. You can make suppositories too I believe . I googled it and thought I’d give it a go . It seems to be working for my little unwelcome guest . Hope you sort yours .
