re: How old were you when you got your first Hemorrhoid?

Have had them for several years, but seems worse since my last colonoscopy. Bought a bidet attachment for my toilet, and between the cool water and not having to clean my arse till it bleeds, it has been remarkable in allowing them to heal and shrink.
Went out of town over the weekend and had to use toilet paper. Opened that sucker up and bled all weekend.
Try the bidet if you're having issues cleaning. It's amazing !
