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.
You’re far from the first person to ever get hemorrhoids. If my kid came to me with something like this, I’d do anything to help and never tell a soul. Hopefully your parents have a little empathy and will do the same. It’s not weak to ask for help when you need it. Good luck.
