What can i do to obtain rid of it? Can i use something over thje counter? i bought Hydrocortisone Plus with 12 moisturizers and aloe. Will that obtain rid of it? How are they caused? Me and my bf have alot of sex.. well not latey since the hemorrhoid developed over a week ago... its driving me crazy and hurts... i notice when i sit in the bathtub it relaxes me and eases the pain but later it comes back... HELP!!

Try something like Preparation H. It has a numbing effect and reduces swelling. Also soak a wash cloth with Witch Hazel and put it between your butt, while laying on your side. It will cool things down and make it a little better. Anal sex is not the best thing in the world, if you're looking to stop the return of this kind of thing. I would suggest you go observe your Doctor. This may be more than just a hemorrhoid. If you're having anal sex with your boyfriend, you absolutely shouldn't have a problem having a medical professional asses the situation.

Yes you do have a hemorrhoid and it isn't the end of the world. Buy some preparation H in a tube or suppositories and give it a few days with no activity going on with your boyfriend during those days . It will shrink and go away. It will stop burning & itching with the medication. If it lasts more than 4-5 days adter the prep-h you need to observe a Dr. The medicine you bought is not for hemorrhoids. Also the warm baths do help. Anyone can obtain them. Don't worry. Oh and they are usually caused by constipation, sitting on like a concrete surface too long and in your case you the bulk likely got it from the anal sex. That is also a technique to obtain them.
