Throwaway account cause I’m embarrassed. Basically a few days ago I randomly woke up with a hemorrhoid after a couple of days of sudden itching in that area. I thought it’ll pass on its own but it hasn’t. I tried some home remedies I found online like sitz baths but nothing has worked. It’s very uncomfortable and I’m fairly sure I need to see a doctor / get some proper medicine. But I can’t bring myself to tell my parents cause it’s so embarrassing I cringe just thinking about it.
There are so many things parents worry about - is their kid doing okay in school, are they getting along with others, are they into drugs, are they pregnant/got someone pregnant, are they being peer-pressured into shoplifting or drinking or whatever.
This? This is absolutely not something a parent is going to get upset about, except for being concerned to your health, getting it fixed, and preventing it happening again. Talk to your parents.
