They can be pretty common for certain people. I've dealt with hemorrhoids since I was 20, my dad also started getting them pretty young too. They tend to "flare up" if you eat food that irritates them. For me it's something that I deal with every few months or so. When I get them, I gotta squirt a tube of ointment up my ass and they're usually gone the next day. It's a very humbling experience. I came as a poor migrant, no college education and through will and determination I became a self taught engineer about to turn 30 who makes six figures, and I occasionally have to squirt a tube of preparation H ointment up my ass.
Ah yes, the American dream.
Everyone's got their issues. Be proud that you can take care of yours and it's not a more significant or public burden.
