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?

We "spoke" on you last questions about your heart beats....If you are 15 yrs old you are considered a minor. Most states have programs minors can receive health care for free or very low cost. You need to ask the school nurse (or a teacher your trust) to help you with your health situation. If your parent is not willing to get you appropriate health treatment or a minimum of a physical to assess what is "truly the problem" vs "self diagnosis" then you need to seek help from another trusted adult. *L*
