Piles :(

Does anyone else have them?

Im a girl and i find it very embarrasing.. I have never let my boyfriend "go down" because of them, they look hideous. I have had them since i was 14 (I'm 21 now) and no amount of seeing the doctor for various creams has managed to rid me of them.

My doc says they are more common than most people would think..

Are they??

I'm at my wits end with losing half a pint of blood every time i go to the loo :frown:

i'm female too, I had them ever since i was 12, now i'm 17:mad: it's horrible, it can get so uncomfortable sometimes. I don't really have a blood loss problem though. I think eating more fibre, fruit and veg should help. :smile:
