I have an anal skin tag, presumably from a hemorrhoid. I was squating heavy with a weight belt on and things did not feel right inside or out. It felt like someone had stuck thier finger up my ass, was in about 3 inches in and was pressing outward toward my outer left thigh. It was a feeling of bad consipation, but ONLY right above (inside) my anus on my left side. It also felt like I literally had a bug in my crack, trying to crawl into my anus. So I grabbed a mirror, looked saw a tag and went in. I was told that I have grade one hemorrhoids. I got kinda rushed out and did not/ forgot to ask all the questions that I had. I have pictures. It normally looks like one tag, but then again, one next to it shows up and it looks like a larger one, in a "V" like formation. It bothers me all day. Someones hand on your arm will not upset you, but a fly landing on you will you nuts. It's like that. So here are my questions . . .
1. I've only seen mine, does my anus look to be in bad shape???
2. Can I have this tag cut off, banded, frozen . . . ? (It's all I think about all day, no pain, just like the fly)
3. My diet has changed and I almost dont make it to the bathroom twice a day. No problem going, dont have to push at all, just "let up". What are the odds of things worsening.
4. I have lifted for about 4 straight years. I know I cant do squats, dead lifts, bent over rows . . . I assume arm work, back and chest will be fine as long as I do not create abdominal pressure. For legs, can I do leg extensions and leg curls?
I AM EXTREMELY ACTIVE, I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. I have been sitting on my ass lately waiting for my next appt to see a doctor and worrying. When people need help moving heavy things or need manual labor, thats, ME, I love the work. I've always been like that. I will do ANYTHING not to have a baboon ass, that is what I am most fearful off, living with a bad hemorrhoid condition. Please help/advise.
