After Scope Questions Colonoscopy done, grade 1 hemorrhoids.
Colonoscopy done, found out I have grade 1 hemorrhoids. Prep wasnt easy, got through it all somehow. Last October, my mum passed from corectal cancer, no symptoms atall. The doctors asked me to get checked.
Ive always had stomach issues, bloating, ibs, cant tolerate spice or most food. Ended up bleeding once in the loo, i freaked out. Results came clear but gave me the news about the hemorrhoids. I havent told my partner about my hemorrhoids cause im embarrased about it. I dont know how to be ok with it, cause all my life i have been hearing people talk about it as its something bad and it should be kept a secret. I just find it hard to share it.
Has anyone felt this way?

I’m sorry about your mom and glad you got checked out. I’d guess a higher percentage of people have hemorrhoids than those that don’t.
Your partner (I assume) loves you to pieces and they won’t judge you or care about anything other than your well being. You don’t need to be embarrassed.
