Hi there,

I am 19 and have never had a hemorrhoid before. I noticed it about two days ago due to pain and blood. I believe that it is an external hemorrhoid. I looked online and began eating a lot of fiber, and I ordered some witch hazel pads and stoneroot (Hopefully coming soon). My problem is I really need to go poop...but it burns so much that I just can't! PLEASE! Any tips on what to do? Will this go away or will I need a doctor?

What can I do to shrink the hemorrhoid?

What can I do to ease the pain of pooping?

What other remedies to you suggest?

Also: I cannot take a sitz bath because I am living in a dorm and due not have access to a bathtub.
