I'm 38 female almost 39 with a history of hemorrhoid during and after pregnancy. I had a bad episode of a hemorrhoids a few years ago and it bulged out and i had to take a salt bath and just deal with the thrombosis pain. I stayed in bed for 3 days just so the pain would go aay.The pain was like a bee sting or knife feeling. I didn't have insurance at the time but finally found a treatment that worked. Tucks pads, with proctozone cream. That is the only thing that cures it for awhile. My mom got diagnosed May 2017 with Stage 3 Rectal cancer and I asked my doctor about a colonoscopy and she said that it wasn't necessary and that I should wait until I'm 40 and after my 2nd baby.
Any thoughts? I know I have regular bowel movements. Sometimes I take stool softeners. I am barely constipated but once in a great while i will have a big BM and it's like thing shaped.. and i have this weird internal pain when I'm fertile. I don't know all this cancer stuff scares me. I am taking a health and nutrition class online and it's turned me into a health nut. I take turmeric and exercise and eat more healthy. I just want to live a healthy life with my family. Thank you sharing
