I have an annual physical exam in January. And of course I have to have the usual Pap Test...etc. And because I am paranoid about my health and well being to the point these thoughts make me feel mentally ill.
I wanted to make sure that my vaginal and **** area looked clean and tidy for the doctor since he will be very close to these parts of my body. I examined my **** area with a little mirror and a flash light.  I do have a history of hemorrhoids. And when I looked at my **** area I noticed some buldges near the opening of my ****. These buldges were normal skin colour with no signs of irration or infection. And I have never had **** intercourse and I have always had protected sexual intercouse. I went to my regional medical health website and researched hemorrhoids. They had video and text explainations of what hemorrohoids are and what they look like. Mine look like prolapsed hemorrhoids (external hemorrhoids). I know I shouldn't look at my **** or vagina for that matter and try to dx myself since I am not a doctor. And now I am just scared. I am worried that I may have a teriminal condition or something that isn't cureable. But I think I should go with what the experts on this regional medical health website say rather than my own paranoia.

I think you are right that you need to just wait to see the dr before trying to dx yourself.

I'm sorry you're having such anxiety over this. Good for you for taking a mirror to your body and viewing it. We should all do this at least once a year, making note of moles or such.
Dehydration can contribute to this, making bowel movements difficult and thus the strain on the blood vessels in that area. Higher fiber diet and plenty of water will help prevent them from becoming worse, and even in time maybe disappear. Many people live with this much of their lives. Do ask your doctor what can be done though, and if he/she thinks you need to do anything. Now try not to be so anxious...
