Throwaway account cause I’m embarrassed. Basically a few days ago I randomly woke up with a hemorrhoid after a couple of days of sudden itching in that area. I thought it’ll pass on its own but it hasn’t. I tried some home remedies I found online like sitz baths but nothing has worked. It’s very uncomfortable and I’m fairly sure I need to see a doctor / get some proper medicine. But I can’t bring myself to tell my parents cause it’s so embarrassing I cringe just thinking about it.
I kinda get your point, but you have to see it this way: Both of them had it themselves almost certainly at some point in their lives. Haemorrhoids are kinda common. But it’s not something you tell your peers about while having a break next to the coffee machine.
Also, don’t be embarrassed about medical issues in front of your parents. If they aren’t complete assholes, they won’t turn this into a show to shame you or something.
