How to Know if You Have Hemorrhoids

Wondering if you have hemorrhoids? Here's help.

Instructions

1. If you are pregnant, have pain when sitting and it feels like you are sitting on a pile of marbles, you probably have hemorrhoids. It is probably difficult to grab a mirror and see what's going on down there but you can show your doctor at your next prenatal appointment and he/she will confirm your hemorrhoids for you.

2. If you are overweight and have painful lumps around your anus, you probably have hemorrhoids. Grab a mirror and see for yourself! If it looks like a bubble filled with blood, it probably is a hemorrhoid. If it looks like anything else, see your doctor.

3. If you were recently constipated or strained on the toilet moving your bowels and now have painful bubbles on your buttocks, you probably have hemorrhoids.

Tips & Warnings

• Not all bubbles or bumps around your anus are hemorrhoids, if they don't go away after a week, you should seek medical attention to rule out other conditions including tumors.
