Help-so embarrased - is it a hemorrhoid?

I am so embarrased and don't know who to ask for help. I think I may possibly have a hemorroid - I have never had one before.

Here is the embarrasing part - could wearing a g-string irritate/cause one? I woke up yesterday with pain - no bleeding, itching or burning. It is just painful to sit and walk.

I have had problems with constipation and did strain a few days ago....

Will this heal by itself or do I need to see a dr? My annual exam is coming up in a few weeks - will the dr see this? How long does it take to start feeling better?

I bought some otc ointment and Correctol laxative to help with the constipation.

I am worrying myself sick - please help!

Hi Wondering!


Sorry I didn't get back to you on a timely basis, but I have been working like a fool and traveling.
