This is a pretty embarassing topic. A while back i noticed that i would bleed while on the toilet. We're not talkin a huge amount, but a drop or two on the toilet paper. This morning the blood was alot darker and i checked up on the net and it got me really scared that i may have a hemorrhoid. I'm only 17 (18 on sunday) and i'm terrified. Can anybody help me out?
Jonathan,
If in fact you have a hemorrhoid, there's absolutely nothing to be terrified about. Do yourself a favor and bring this up to your folks and set up an appointment with your Doctor. You'll be just fine...
A hemmorhoid is a vein that bulges out the anus, it fills with blood and COULD cause quite a bit of bleeding if it pops (but it will just fill up again) It's more of a nuisance than anything else. They are never serious.
