Lump inside sphincter ~ no bleeding yet ~ how serious? Posted: 12-18-07 17:22pm
Hey everyone I'm not positive it's
Hemorrhoids but I'm relatively certain. I
have a lump slightly on the inside of my
sphincter and it's somewhat painful,
definately uncomfortable. It hasn't
started bleeding as of yet even during
bowel movements however all bowel
movements I've had since it showed its
ugly head have been soft stools.
It began a couple days ago and I'm not
really looking for a diagnosis as I'm
fairly certain I know what it is. I do
intend to go to the doctor but I haven't
been able to do so yet.
I'm recently out of the military and just
started my first civilian job. I am on my
second week and won't get insurance until
the 60 day mark. This is pretty
unfortunate however livable. Today I'm
going to get some Prep H. to deal with the
discomfort but what I need to know is (and
of course, this is no guarantee, I just
need ballparks) is there any way to tell
how serious Hemorrhoids are or what stages
they're at other than their
discoloration?
Presently I haven't seen any bleeding, I
have been very carefula bout the things I
do including sitting down, wlaking,
running, etc. I've been able to pass
bowel movements without an issue and it's
only uncomfortable, not elaborately
painful.
I think alot of this has come from stress.
Girlfriend issues, new job, moving
houses, bills, etc. I'm going to relax a
bit more for now. I digress, how serious
of an issue is this? am I risking my life
by waiting a few weeks or should I pay
money that I truly do not have to see a
doctor immediately? I appreciate any
input or stories everyone may have. Thank
you.

Today.... Posted: 12-19-07 15:40pm
Today I have had the necessity to sneeze a
few times. Of course muscles tense when
you sneeze. One time I felt a little bit
of pain associated with the area during
the sneeze. A few hours later I noticed
some blood on my seat and went to the
private restroom (at work) took off my
pants and saw blood on the back of my
pants. Of course, I can only assume that
actually came from the sneeze and muscles
tensing and possibly popping or damaging
the possible roid. Is this a serious
health risk also? Should I make every
attempt to refrain from sneezing/stressing
the muscles or should I simply clean up
and keep soldiering on? Thanks!
