i think ive got an internal hemorrhoid?
a couple of weeks ago i went away and my diet changed ( i started to eat more) and noticed i was getting a hemorrhoid. I didn’t really notice it sometimes i get small ones and they go away. this one is just about a centremeter inside and i can feel exactly where it is when i go, but can’t see it. the last couple of days it has gotten a bit worse and it doesn’t want to heal because i keep going once a day.
i read that you can’t feel internal ones, could it be an external that just isn’t sticking out? it does bleed when i pass but it stops right away after because it brushes right past it on the way out.
should i cut what i’m eating in half and just snack on grains and nuts to make it smaller? i’ve tried cream and softners and it is still getting irritated and itchy and i stress out every time i need to go

Yes, it’s an external hemorrhoids that doesn’t stick out., Internal hemorrhoids isn’t itchy and painful. External hemorrhoids is itchy, painful and bleeds right after defecation.
Don’t apply creams and softeners it won’t help. Apply an ice pack or do hot sitz bath for added comfort.
Avoid high protein foods, spicy foods, constipation and prolonged sitting. Sit on a doughnut cushion to avoid rectal pressure.
Eat high fiber diet and low roughage foods to lessen rectal irritation.
Here are some sound advice for you.
1. Apply a hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a topical numbing agent.
2. You have to take minimum eight or nine glasses of water per day. Also check the amount of fiber you are eating and adjust it accordingly.
3. Keep the anal area clean and dry. Take a bath or shower (a bath is much better) daily and clean the skin around your anus gently with warm water. Soap isn’t necessary and may aggravate the problem. You should dry the affected part of your body to avoid any irritations.
4. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on the anus to relieve swelling. Make sure the ice is wet and slippery, not sticky. Insert it in the anal hole like a normal suppository.
5. A Seitz bath fits over the toilet. For this treatment you will need one plastic tub with warm water. You can get one at a medical supply store or some pharmacies. It is suggested to use this treatment for 15 minutes three times in a day. This treatment will reduce pain and swelling most effectively, as this is an easier treatment for hemorrhoid relief. Or you could just buy some Epsom salts, and put them in a bath, then sit there for ten minutes to gain hemroid relief, longer if necessary.
6. Do not use dry toilet paper when wiping your ***. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use wet and moist towels or wet toilet paper that doesn’t contain perfume or alcohol.
7. If coming from the anal hole, you can also try to gently push them back. Once they back in, the pain should disappear very quickly.
8. Exercise your body. Keep in mind that staying on the toilet for more than five minutes at a time aggravates your hemorrhoids. Take several short walks a day.
9. You can find relief from hemorrhoids using a hemorrhoid cushion. A hemorrhoid cushion is an inflatable rubber ring, similar to the inflatable rings that kids wear at the beach. When you sit on it, the cushion is minimizing the contact pressure between the sitting surface and the hemorrhoid.
