▲ 5 r/hemorrhoid
26 female, USA. Is this a hemorrhoid?
I’ve never had issues like this before. Is this bad enough to go to the doctor for? I bought some lidocaine ointment today. First noticed it yesterday.
I generally don’t have any issues with pooping, but was straining significantly over the past week in order to urinate due to a UTI. Could that have caused it?
Pain isn’t significant. I’d rate it about a 2-3/10.
