I’m 17 years old and I think I have an external hemorrhoids. It hurts mildly and looks like a lump on my ****. I’m terrified about it after reading that hemorrhoids can be linked to things like cancer and other such things. Is it normal to have one at my age? I don’t know what to do about it.

Only if you’re pregnant….
I don’t think age is a factor. Although older people may have them more often. Treat them with a cream. They may be surgically removed.
there is no age limit for a hemorrhoid. see your doctor.
Yes it is totally normal for you to have one at your age, i wouldn’t worry about it, it could be from a number of things such as- sitting down on a cold serface, constapation, weight gain…could be from anything, i have a few myself from my pregnancy caused by constapation, oh yeah lol, my hubby just discovered 2 weeks ago he has a couple got me to look to see why it was sore and itchy, he was mordafied when i told him and he is only 23 so…yeah i wouldn’t worry about it just go to your nearest drug store and buy some prepheration-h or something. good luck.
It is not common to get hemorrhoids at your age. However, due to our sedentary life and growing number of overweight and obese people, more and more people are getting hemorrhoids in early age. Hemorrhoids are not linked to cancer – so, don’t freak out. If you have constipation, adjust your diet by adding fruits, vegetables and lots of water (do not drink soft drinks!), if you’re overweight, lose weight, if you are sitting a lot, start making exercises to help with blood flow. In general, a diet based on 80% alkaline foods and 20% acid is the best (see list of foods on the link below). As for the hemorrhoids, get Rue Care Oil – it stops itching, shrinks the hemorrhoids and strengthens the veins.
