Hi readers,

I am 17 years of age and just a few days ago, when I was sitting on the toilet, I noticed blood both in the toilet and one the paper. I wasnt sure what it was and my ads literally started hurting. Not really hurting but more like it was super uncomfortable. Well I checked to see what it was and there is a little part of it swollen. It's not in much of a circle shape, almost an oval but it started from the outside and coming a little in the hole area. It's been 5 days and I tried everything, using hydrogen peroxide to petroleum jelly, to doing hot and cold compressment, that took the pain a little while but the pain kept coming back. It hurts a little walking, excersising etc but it doesn't hurt when laying down or sitting down. I haven't told anyone what im going through, Im too embarrassed and I think if I wait long enough, it'll go away on its own. But I don't know what else to do! Does this even sound like an external hemmoroid?
