I'm 22 and have been dealing with external hemorrhoids for over a month now. I've tried controlling my diet and exercising regularly, but whenever I have to go to the bathroom, they pop out, and then they go back on their own after a while. It's really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of them for good? And is this common at my age?

Developing external hemorrhoids at 22 is uncommon, but not unheard of; factors like genetics, constipation, poor diet, and inadequate exercise may contribute; to manage and potentially remove hemorrhoids permanently, consider: increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, exercising regularly, avoiding prolonged sitting, and practicing good bowel habits;

View allI've had both internal and external piles for three days now, and there's this sticky, transparent mucus discharging from them. The lump isn't getting any smaller; it's still hard and just sits outside my anus, causing some mild pain and itchiness. Do you think it's time to consider surgery? Also, is there any way to stop the mucus discharge?

I'm having a lot of pain right at the edge of my anus and lower back, and it's making it really hard to sit or go to the bathroom. I've also noticed some swelling in that area, and it hurts more if I try to stretch the muscle. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and suggest who I should see about this?
Could be an anal fissure or hemorrhoids. For confirmation you will have to consult a specialist. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter ointments like Anusol or Preparation H to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Additionally, taking a stool softener like Colace can help make bowel movements less painful. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to avoid constipation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
