Exercise for a hemorrhoid?
So i am pretty sure that i have a thrombosed external hemorrhoid. There's a lump on the outside of my anus that is blue in color and is hard to the touch. I am generally a very active guy (i exercise every day) and the last couple of days i was sick and didn't leave my chair for pretty much two days. I am guessing that the sitting is what has caused this. So what I am wondering is if a little exercise will help fix the hemorrhoid. I am 20 years old and never have had this before so I am kind of a bit freaked out, even though everywhere says hemorrhoids aren't serious. That leads to another question. It defiantely hurts but its more bothersome than anything, so is there really any reason for concern? I read that you dont really need to go to a doctor unless you have severe pain, bleeding, or both? I only have the blue lump...
It's possible that your change in activity level brought on the hemorrhoid, but some people are prone to them and it's likely you would have eventually developed one, anyway. In fact, one of the biggest contributing factors to hemorrhoids is lots of exercise. It's common for someone who engages in vigorous, regular exercise to develop hemorrhoids.
There's no reason at all for concern, since a huge percentage of the population has them (it's a well-kept secret) and they're not usually problematic for more than a couple days at a time. The surgery to remove them, however, is apparently very painful and often doesn't resolve the issue for good, especially if the patient is biologically prone to develop hemorrhoids.
If I were you, I'd just mention it to your doctor during your next visit. It's not worth making an appointment unless the pain and discomfort start to interrupt your life. And chances are the doctor will just recommend that you use suppositories to alleviate your discomfort.
