I think I may have an external thrombosed hemorrhoid. Ive had it, or at least noticed the pain about 5 days now. I dont normally notice the pain however. Will this go away on its own? Should I see a doc? Any home treatments to get rid of it? Thanks guys.

Preparation_H might help a bit, but it should go away on it's own. The most important thing is that you avoid any straining when passing your stool. Get some extra fiber in your diet to help out.

Wow, thanks for the quick response. Its nice to hear it will go away on its own. Ive seen conflicting sources that say get medical attention, or just to watch for any changes and let time takes its course. I guess I'll ask a few more questions. So the clot will just dissolve on its own? Does the prep H help get rid of the roid, or does it help with pain? Is it normal for someone my age to get these(Im 23)? Thanks in advance.

I really don't know the details. Usually they will go away, but that is not to say that you don't or won't have a problem that may require medical attention. You'll just have to wait it out and see if it gets better.
