Dr. Madriz said you need to get to the doctor sooner than 45 if you’re having symptoms, which can include something as innocent as a hemorrhoid.
“If for any reason you think you’re having hemorrhoid symptoms, don’t assume it’s a hemorrhoid because it could be something else.
So, I would say it’s a very common misconception that any problems ‘down there’ has to be a hemorrhoid, and that’s not always the case, so I would highly encourage patients that are having any problems to get checked,” Madriz said.In recent years, the rate of screening has increased. Some credit the accessibility of screening and at-home tests. While at-home tests may not be covered by insurance, they may be a convenient choice for some people.
