I can't believe I'd have to type something like this...but I swear I was fine just the other day, minus my consistently high running stress/anxiety.depression/hypochondria.
But, I checked this morning and felt a strange lump near...there, and upon further inspection noticed it was red both on the lump and around it. It's just to the right of...that place and really embarrassing! I get yelled at for complaining a lot, so I'm afraid to bring it up.
It sometimes hurts if I sit directly on it or push on it, bu I also have been not very active at all the past week, and mainly have been on my bed for at least 23/7.
I don't have a fever or anything, but for the past couple of days until 2 days ago I was fairly constipated and I haven't gone at all #2 since, though that's fairly normal for me, I've had these problems /w bowel movements since I was younger, and I'm aware I don't eat healthy. I've convinced myself it's some fatal disease or something. Please help??
Also as a note, I've mentioned my EXTREMELY high stress + anxiety, but it's possible I also have IBS as well, if the rumbling, excessive gas, and occasional pain in my stomach/abdomen means anything.
hi you are very young to have piles does it itch at all i would say its probley a boil or something nothing to worry about .if it dont ge any better pop to see your gp put your mind at rest good luck.
No itching at all! Just sore to sit on and very red around it. I'm starting now to switch my diet, but if it is piles, is it possible it'll go away on its own? I've never had this happen before and it's really embarrassing...!
Its certainly no fatal disease and I know it can be extremely embarrasing for things like this at your age (At any age actually!) But try not to worry because as Shirley says its almost certainly a boil - I had loads when I was your age - Very painful until they pop - If the lump is not directly next to your bum hole then thats what it is - Just a boil and it will go by itself after a week
Again like Shirley says it would tend to itch more than actually be painful
Its very doubtful to have piles at 16 but if it is right next to your bum hole
Then find some vaseline or use soft soap and with a bit of toilet paper see if you can push it back up inside your bum - If it goes in then Thats a Pile!
You won't have IBS either so try and eat properly (I know thats like asking a cat to love mice) but you must certainly get more excercise and get off that bed and at least go for a walk round every Day
Lack of excercise at 16 will CERTAINLY give you constipation
And parants will always Yell at you for Complaining Thats their job Just like its your job as a Teenager to carry on Complaining lol
But if you are still worried after another week go and make an appointment with your family GP - the Parants don't need to know - and try not to be embarrassed when you go and also mention ALL of your concerns - Its the Doctors job to listen to everything you say - You are the Boss and they work for you! Its only a body bit after all and you will feel much better afterwards
There hasn't been any itching at all! Only pain if I move or sit a lot. Further inspection shows it's slightly off to the side of...there, and not directly on or in or anything like that. I've been trying vaseline which I've had saved, but it doesn't seem to do much of anything....could this still be a boil? It seems to have spread to form an odd line of sorts...
Try doing a salt bath a couple of times a day as this should ease the pain and help sterilise the area. In the meantime, give you GP a call. They've seen far worse and won't b embarrassed or uncomfortable. I know it's hard to do and you'll feel silly and embarrassed but don't. It's all natural and they r there to help. There's no reason in the world why you should put up with pain and discomfort. And five minutes of discomfort is worth it to take the worry and pain away. You could also try taking couple of pain killers but don't take for too long or without having seen your doctors. You'll come out with a prescription and the feeling of relief and wishing you'd done it sooner. You can always ask for a woman doctor too. Good luck x
