I'm dealing with pretty painful 3rd degree external hemorrhoids. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible, and I'm curious if there are any medicines or treatments that can actually help shrink them?

Question

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?
