What Are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are swollen, enlarged veins that take place inside and outside your anus. They are not contagious and are typically caused by pressure. A hemorrhoid is also known as a pile.
They can appear as several symptoms, including bright red blood when you go to the restroom. Hemorrhoids are just plain uncomfortable, and some can go as far as being extremely painful and itchy.
Increased pressure in the lower rectum is the reason hemorrhoids develop, and that happens due to sitting for long periods, especially in the restroom, being obese, being pregnant, having chronic diarrhea or constipation, straining during bowel movements, eating a low-fiber diet, and having anal intercourse.
Hemorrhoids are not dangerous and neither are they contagious, but they are distressing and uncomfortable. Internal hemorrhoids can collapse and be strangulated when their blood supply is cut off. This can further lead to infections, blood clots, and in the worst cases, gangrene and sepsis.
Here are the symptoms of hemorrhoids:
- Discomfort is one of the common symptoms of hemorrhoids
- Itching
- Feeling like you need to poo even after you have just gone to the toilet
- Lumps and pain around your anus
- Mucus in your underwear or on toilet paper
- Pain, especially when sitting.

Is it Normal For Girls to Have Hemorrhoids?
Girls are not the only ones who can get hemorrhoids, it is common in both genders. Hemorrhoids can be either inside your anus (internal) or under the skin (external). Hemorrhoids are normal in both girls and boys and often get better on their own with no reason to panic.
The pain that accompanies hemorrhoids is something no one wants to endure and for people, it can become chronic. But it is completely normal for girls to have. Fortunately, with some lifestyle changes such as eating fiber and exercising, it would likely resolve within a few days.
How Long Will Hemorrhoids Last?
There is no saying how long hemorrhoids will last. Most of the time, the small ones will clear out without any treatment within a few days. While the large external hemorrhoids can take longer to heal. Large hemorrhoids can cause significant pain and discomfort and that might take longer to resolve, so it is best to see a doctor for treatment.
In general, there is no specific timeline as to when hemorrhoids will go away. Also, some can have constant flare-ups. The small ones can take 7 to 10 days to shrink, and they are a natural part of the body, so you can’t physically get rid of them unless through surgery.
Wrapping Up
My advice will be a bit sentimental, but in this case, I think it should be welcomed. The tip to navigating this is to talk to her about how you feel. Communication is the key to working any relationships out, in and out of the bedroom.
If she is uncomfortable about doing something with you in the bedroom. No reasons to be sensitive about it, rather talk to her about treatments and respect the space her body needs.
Also, it is not like there are no other activities that can incorporated to enable you to enjoy intimate and more pleasurable moments together. So, get creative!
