I'm currently a nursing student, 28 yr old female, who is experiencing pain after bowel movements almost on a daily basis. Sometime see red blood in my stools. Last semester was incredibly stressful and I think as a result of my diet and sedentary lifestyle I developed hemorrhoids. I've been very active before that semester and after as a marathon runner and a triathlete. Though with the stress of last semester, I worked out very little in comparison to my past. I currently use hemorrhoid suppositories which help, but I'm worried that I should get this checked out, since I use the suppositories almost daily. Is this common? Any advice or help would be great! Thanks!
