I've had a bit of itching and soreness around the anal area for a week or so, and then 2 days ago, I had diarrhoea and felt something 'pop' out. I've had a look and there is just a smallish round pink bulge there - it gets a lot better overnight and when I first get up, it feels fine, but I have a job where I am standing on my feet all day and after the first couple of hours I am demented - and very conscious I'm not pulling my weight too as it is so uncomfortable to walk. I had a look on line and the advice says that it could either be piles or a prolapse; if it's the first, wait a few days to see if it gets better and if it's the second, see your GP immediately...which is really not helpful as I don't know which.
I've only just registered with a gp in my new area and was there the day before this happened, trying to convince her that a 41-year-old woman could have menopause & VA and would she please renew my prescriptions to treat both. I did win eventually (although I had to explain what Ovestin was and what it did...) but I don't want to go back too soon in case she thinks I'm a hypochondriac! But I'm worried if I leave it, it will get worse. Anyone had anything similar?
I haven't had any bleeding and hardly ever get constipated, and it seems I am young for either piles or a prolapse, but I can only assume it's down to everything 'sagging' due to the change.
