Particularly if your toilet looks like this.
I don’t know if this is true or if it’s still true, but I read once that the Guinness record for high altitude surgery is some poor fellow who had to undergo an emergency hemorrhoid operation during a Mount Everest expedition.
Now that is something to go down in the annals for.
Yup, you may want to see a doctor about that, especially if it’s bleeding. My mother wound up in a hospital one time when her bleeding got really bad.
If your hemmorhoid becomes swollen, purplish and incredibly painful, it might be thrombosed. Get to your primary care physician ASAP to have it excised.
Incarcerated hemmerhoids. Gotta love it. Eat a cake with a file in it.
I’ve had these off and on for as long as I can remember in my adult life. Mine have never been painful or itchy though, so I think in my case they are just a mini-semi-prolapse. It doesn’t bother me, since I’m still on the far left of the “cat ass <—> baboon ass” spectrum.
Got my first one at 19, when I was working at a golf course sitting on a riding lawn mower for 8 hours a day. When it first reared it’s ugly head, I thought I was dying of ass cancer or something. the pain, the lump, the blood…Totally freaked my 19-year-old self out. I finally got up the nerve to tell my dad about it, and he just said it was probably a hemorrhoid. Truck drivers get them too from all the sitting and road vibrations, and I just probably got it from the lawn mower. Didn’t make for a very pleasant couple of weeks at work though. The sitting, vibrations and sweaty-summer-manual-labor ass were hellish.
Can’t say I ever had to push anything “back inside,” as the OP mentions. What’s that all about?
Get a bidet.
Find a cheap one ($20-40) on Amazon that will attach to your toilet, any novice plumber can install. Or, go big and get one with hot and cold water, multiple spray patterns, plus an air dryer.
(I think the toilet paper companies must have conspired to keep these out of American homes–it is the only reasonable reason they aren’t standard plumbing. Fight the power!)
