Title: Hormones and hemorrhoids
Post by: Leah443 on January 16, 2014, 05:36:15 PM
Hi today i found out i have hemorrhoids and i was wondering if i could still take hormones? this is a very serious question for me because i am so close to getting hormones and i am terrified about not being able to get them. any info/help on this would be amazing.

I'm no doctor.... but...
I don't see why it would be an issue....

If a 12 year old girl get hemorrhoids doctors don't give her blockers. I doubt the body shuts off puberty.
I think you would be fine, but again I'm not a doctor.. and while you probably should mention it to yours.. I probably wouldn't myself, call me a hippocreate but I'd have the same fear you do.

My doctor just gave me some cream. Said nothing about stopping hormones. I think you're all right.
