I think I've got piles. Never having had them before (not even during both my pregnancies!) I wasn't sure, but a quick butchers at NHS direct has confirmed what I thought. It's basically (so sorry about this) one big lump just to one side of my bum hole on the outside, it's a bit painful and sore but so far isn't affecting my life too much (has been there for a couple of days).
My question: has anyone ever gone to the GP with this complaint? It's so silly, but I'm terrified.... I don't want to be examined there, I really don't! And the removal methods they talk about on NHS direct sound like absolute torture. AAAaaaargh!
Please if you don't mind the embarrassment can you share your stories here, so I know what to expect
