<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'm 24 and I started having some problems down there about 3 years ago.  They seem to be getting worse lately.  There's not a ton of blood or anything but it can become really inflamed/painful and lead to constipation.  I was thinking about going to the Dr. to see if this could be a symptom of some other problem, because I feel too young for this.  On the other hand, I have the suspicion that this is actually quite common and just something I will have to deal with, and it would be a waste of my time and the Dr's to schedule a visit for just this.  So I am anonymously asking if anyone else has talked to their Dr about it, if it's common to have these at this age, and what kind of remedies work best for you. 

Other Info: I sit on my ass all day at work, but I'm not overweight.  My current self-treatment involves trying to eat high fiber foods, like lentils, and applying witch hazel when it gets bad.
<bot>: Is it normal to see a doctor when you first start getting hemmorrhoids, if not, what remedies work best?
