Im 15, and for the past month, I've had an internal hemorrhoid. When I first read about the symptoms I've been having and found out that it was a hemorrhoids, I immediatly started trying to make it better. I've been eating lots of fiber/drinking tons of water, exercising more, improving my posture, everything. But, no matter what I do, it still hurts when I defecate, and there is sometimes even blood.
The first time it happend, I told my mom. She doesn't care. She just told me to use alcohol after I go.
I've read more about them and how they can lead to colorectal cancer, if gone too long without being treated. Once again, I told my mom. I told her that I needed to see a doctor, all she does is tell me that its ok, it'll go away, It's too expensive to go to the doctor. She told me she tried to get health insurance, but I was denied...
For the past month, I've been thinking... "Is money worth more than my health...?"
Is there anything I can do?
