Hemorrhoids and constipation - when to worry?

[LunarCoffee]

Yeah, they seem to flare up only when I have really bad constipation. I think they are fairly mild hemorrhoids, as the gastroenterologist said they didn't warrant any treatment back when I was first diagnosed.

Woah. If you don't mind answering, do they usually bleed with small hard stool? Because I probably have hemorrhoids but I'm obviously worrying it's cancer because... health anxiety.

Mine are always there, they won't go without some greater treatment. But I don't have constant symptoms. I've been years without much of anything.

They get past a point where the creams reduce them a bit but to completely remove them I would probably need banding and have done for many years.
