It all started with an embarrassing itch. I was sure that I was cleaning myself properly but the itch persisted. The itch kept getting worse and worse to the point that at times I would feel as if I was on fire down there. Finally I gave up and went to see my doctor. I did not want to subject myself to that kind of an examination but was to the point where I saw no alternative. After a short examination I was told that I had hemorrhoids and that it would be a simple problem to treat with internal hemorrhoids treatment.
