This is embarassing :oops: I don't know if I have hemorrhoids or what but I have this painful swelling down there- it hurts and I don't know why. It's not like a wart or anything so I'm not thinking STD. I never had hemorrhoids even when I was pregnant so I don't know why I would now, but could abortion cause them? I have been somewhat sore down there since my abortion (about 3 weeks ago) but I figured it was just some irritation... but now it's all swollen and hurts... help please! :cry:
Where is the swelling? Is it *ahem* around the hole or what? I think that hemerroids itch, I'm not sure about pain. I hope someone else can help more.
it's like between the vaginal and anal area, more towards the latter. Man, this sucks...
you really should get it checked out by a doctor. The last thing you want is a nasty infection in that area.
Yeah I say go to the doctor. Hemorrhoids suck...I had them after having my son, and it hurt every time I went to the bathroom. :?
It could be hemmhroids, and yeah they hurt really bad. I would go to the doc if I were you.
Let me introduce you to your new best friends: Unscented baby wipes (dry off after using them) and Tucks pads. And lots of water.
