No jokes, please... this is a serious question...
Even though I'm relatively young (25) and have not had babies yet, I've been having a problem with hemorrhoids for years. Recently the problem seems to have gotten worse; it's now hard to go to the bathroom without some discomfort, and yesterday I saw some blood for the first time in a while.
My gynecologist said that there's nothing anyone could do for the hemorrhoids, that even if I got them removed they would grow back. He said the best thing to do would be to wait till I'm finished having babies (because being pregnant will make them worse), then try getting them removed. But who knows when I'll be finished having babies... in the meantime, I don't want to be uncomfortable for another 10+ years!
What kind of doctor should I see for this problem? A general practitioner? Or a specialist? If a specialist, what kind?
Thank you!

Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

A proctologist, or gastroenterologist. You could also see your regular doctor first if they aren't too bad, but if you are having serious pain, bleeding, etc. go to the specialist. Take Care.
