I know I have internal hemorrhoid because I had a colonoscopy 4 years ago where they noted them. Occasionally I'll feel itching and I use cream and it's gone within a day. Those are the usual symptoms, but this time, it's different. I feel a pushing type of feeling down there. Like something hard is pushing down. I am not constipated, though possibly a little firmer than usual in the last week. I don't have any tissue outside, but this feeling of pressure and tightness is really bothersome. I began using cream inside today to see if it helps, but so far, no relief. No bleeding, no itching, just a swollen feeling inside.
I struggle with health anxiety, so sometimes I make things that are minor and nothing at all, and I make them a horrible thing to be fearful of dying. It's awful. So I am trying to find more logical explanations for what I'm feeling. It's like the muscles are all pushing really hard...but they're not.
I don't have insurance, so I'm trying to wait it out a few more days to see if it's truly necessary to be seen.
Just curious if anyone has experienced this with internals
