29F, is this a hemorrhoid? Im panicking!
I have never once in my life had this happen before! I never even knew what hemorrhoids were before now. I pooped a few days ago and it was a little painful and then a couple days after that I felt like there was something I needed to wipe (this was random BTW not even after pooping) and had blood coming from my butt when I wiped. I didnt think much of it but now 2 or 3 days later I literally just woke up to my butt hole hurting with a sharp pain and something told me to take a picture to see if there was a cut or something. Imagine my horror when I look at the picture and see this
Google is saying its a hemorrhoid, and I have no idea what to do to fix this. I just took a warm bath and plan to go to the store to get OTC cream but I've been reading some folks say this could take MONTHS to heal??? I've also seen people say they had relief when it finally popped on its own, so does that mean we ourselves could just pop it then??
Idk if its relevant but I also have a job where im sitting down in an uncomfortable chair 24/7 almost I hear that can have an affect?
