• Hemorrhoids

Hi,

I had a colonoscopy last week. I also had to do a two day prep of peg-5500. I am now suffering from a hemorrhoid and I have never had one before. I am using Tucks and taking ibuprofen. Do hemorrhoids make you have to urgently go to the bathroom? How long do these last? I have a picture of it, but I don't think I would be able to post something like that on here?

When you say hemorrhoid, without any other information, I can only assume you mean a painful externally thrombosed hemorrhoid. They usually do not make you have urgency, but can last days to weeks.
