I'm 36 and have had external hemorrhoids since I had my children, but they never bothered me until recently. They feel swollen but have no pain or blood. I tried hemorrhoid creams and suppositories, which burned and seemed to make them worse. Now I'm worried it might be something more serious since the creams didn't work. Should I stop touching and inspecting them daily, and will they go away on their own?

I have noticed red specks in my stool multiple times over the past few months. I use spironolactone for my skin, had a miscarriage in March, and have had a hemorrhoid since then, along with some vaginal irritation. I was constipated a month ago and felt a sharp pain in the anus today. Could the red specks be blood, and are these symptoms related to my medical history or recent gastrointestinal issues?

I have a white bump under my labia and I want to know what it is and how I can get rid of it. I am 27 years old, have had a Hysteroscopy, polypectomy, Novy cannulation, and an HSG, but I am not experiencing any symptoms or using any medications.
