Ummm, doggies don't get hemorrhoids. Humans are the only ones lucky enough.

How do you treat an hemorrhoid?

Hi, there are many things you can do to help rid yourself of hemorrhoids, however, for starters to shrink it down get yourself an icecube and some thin underwear. Wrap the icecube once over it so there is one layer of cotton between you and the ice. Then lie down on your side on the bed and place it directly on the hemorrhoid. Yes, it will be very cold, but it will help shrink it down, same as if you sprained your ankle.

If it is an internal hemorrhoid you won't be able to this, so you'll have to instead work on prevention and eating certain foods which help strengthen the vein walls.

First, eat more vegetables, salad and fruit. then eat 8 glasses of water spread out over the day. Lastly, have some fiber powder you can mix with water, every day. Fiber molecules bond with water molecules and help poo pass more easily. This will stop you from straining. Also ensure you wipe with soft toilet paper and maybe add some aloe and witch hazel.

Can Hemorrhoids lead to rectal cancer?

Cancer and hemorrhoids are completely two different terms. If proper care and treatment is not taken and hemorrhoids get worse then it can turn into gangrene.

Both colorectal and anal cancer have symptoms which may cause them to be mistaken for far more benign diseases, like hemorrhoids.

The biggest difference between the symptoms of hemorrhoids and those of colorectal cancer is that rectal bleeding from colorectal cancer will most likely be dark and/or already hardening while hemorrhoidal bleeding is usually bright red and very fresh.

I would say yes. after sex some pain can be normal. it can come from your boyfriend/ husband thrusting too deeply or if you had "rough" sex. it can also come from the penis hitting the "top" of your vagina. no worries.

ANSWER

if its not rough sex as above poster says and it is regular (ie happens every time you have sex), that is a worry!

there is all kinds of reasons for it and they mostly are medical, i suggest you go see your doctor about it because leaving it will not help and probably only make it worse and it could be something that can easily be sorted.

Can you put a rubberband on a hemorrhoid?

Yes you can, but I don't recommend doing it yourself. There's a treatment called "Rubber Band Ligation" where your doctor puts two rubber bands at the base of the internal hemorrhoid with a special artifact. The point is that it stops blood irrigation to the hemorrhoid and it will dry out and subsequently fall off.

And I say I don't recommend doing it yourself because I already tried it. Since the theory seemed simple, I used two small and tight rubber bands used for dental braces to wrap an external hemorrhoid I had in hopes of suffocating it. I succeeded in wrapping it but the problem came in an hour or so: the pain was unbearable. The hemorrhoid swelled and turned purple, but it was hurting so bad and I wanted to see if it was going to work so I let it some more time and took a nap in hopes of waking up with the pain relieved. After waking up a few hours later the pain was soothed, but it came back after a while and it was much more worse than before, and the hemorrhoid was turning bright red. The pain was so intense that it just worsened with everything I tried to relieve it, including warm water, and so I decided to remove the bands before something wrong happened. It was quite difficult to remove them since they were so tight and the hemorrhoid burst open in the process with a little hemorrhage.

That's a true story and I don't recommend doing anything risky to your anus just by yourself. Go see a specialist.

Should I be concerned if there is yellow cotton like mucous covering my stool and am very constipated with lower back discomfort.?

Yes, you should be very concerned. You have to know that your diet is horrible. Start with breakfast and have a bowl of oatmeal every morning. Use slow cooked oats instead of anything that takes less than ten minutes to cook. I eat old fashioned oates that require 15 minutes to cook. Get steel-cut oates if possible. Include a piece of fresh fruit. I recommend soy milk or better yet, goats milk.(cows milk creates muckus in the lungs and colon.) Your Doctor probably hasn't told you a lot about how to stay healthy into your golden years and most surly has failed to recommend a truly healthy diet. I wonder why? Funny thing, doctors don't make any money from well people. Only sick ones.

Cut down on red meat. eliminate it if you can. Eat more fresh vegatables and fruit. Oh, I know, I know...you know all this, so just do it! Otherwise, if you live to be old, it won't be fun. Good luck!

What does it mean when you have a bump where your bowels come from?

If there is a "bump" where your bowels are, then it is likely you have a hernia. You should schedule an appointment to see your doctor to get this checked out. If a loop of bowel in a hernia becomes twisted on itself, or if the blood flow is reduced, it can have some very serious consequences.
