Let talk about... ANAL HEALTH
I've seen people get all embarrassed about talking about butts and poop but let's be honest. Sometimes, things just happen and we're worried.
That anal itching? Could be a hemorid. THESE DO NOT JUST HAPPEN TO OLD PEOPLE! I'm 18 and I've struggled for months.
Pregnant woman almost always get them. I get them from constipation. My brother, who's had issues with drugs, was constantly having them.
How I can tell my hemroids are back? It always, always, always starts with anal itching. When I go to the bathroom, I'll wipe and it makes it worse. It's like scratching a mosquito bite... Only on your asshole.
It's uncomfortable and mortifying. I remember being furious because FOR DAYS I itched, constantly. Not even the anti-itch cream for that helped. Then my mom bought me the Preparation H wipes and my life changed. It went from itching to just hurting. Because the itch was gone I was only left with the pain, because hemroids are basically like butthole hernias.
I could feel a lump. We we're pretty sure it was the hemroids but I went to the doctor to check. If the over the counter meds are working, I SUGGEST NOT GOING TO THE DOCTOR FOR IT. Unless you want a finger up your butt, don't do it. Please, don't. It's not fun.
I personally never dealt with bleeding, but my brother absolutely did. The best things I've found are hemroid wipes, cream, and suppositories. I know, doesn't sound fun.
They all have different uses in my opinion. Wipes are great for having to go to the bathroom and most of the itch. Doesn't last long. Cream is best for itching (get the red tube for best anti-itch results).
Suppositories feel really uncomfortable going in. Yes, they have to go up your butt. However, they work best for healing, I promise. Your butt will seriously suck it up if you push it far enough in. It shouldn't hurt or be hard to do. ADDITIONAL NOTE: They will leak out, especially if you fart with them. It's so uncomfortable, I highly recommend using a panty liners for this. It won't last long. Even if you're a guy. Pantyliners will save your life! Plus girls (whether they are your friends or your significant other) will appreciate if you can whip these babies out for em.
DONT FEEL EMBARRASSED LOTS OF PEOPLE GET THEM AND THEYRE TOTALLY TREATABLE. Pass on for the booty! Take care!
