Hi, I have had IBS for sometime, inherited from my mom and also caused by anxiety. Has anyone on here had hemroids before? I hate getting this detailed, but I ate some food about a week ago that did not agree with me, if you know what i mean. When i would wipe i felt a bump on my anus and it was itchy and irritated. I took a look at it with a mirror and it looks like it could be a vien round the outside of my anus that is dark blue. Do these typically go away with ointments? How long should I wait to see a doctor about it? To be honest i am sick of seeing doctors and i really don't want to go in to have the doc stick his finger anywhere near that region. I know that they are very common, does anyone know if they are more common with IBS?
Thanks,
Shawn
