hi, sorry to be blunt but theres isnt any other way.
I’ve always suffered from piles, hemoarriods, since I was about 15 years old. however there does’nt seem to be any reason for them, I’m not overweight, never been pregnant and never had any anal sex etc. However every now and again they flare up badly.

Couple of weeks ago I started getting the PMT, soreness, twinges ect, then last week I got really bad thrush, now this week my period started, the thrush is still bad and my piles are so bad i can hardly walk….i wondered if the hormonal changes can affect this!?
i am 31 this year so had them since i was teenager.

Basically I had pretty rough anal sex with a guy last week, and now a week later my anus is in agony. I thought I had piles so, I’ve used germolaids for the past 2 days, showered 3x a day and the pain did start to go away, but this morning I awoke with the most painful sensation ever. It feels like there is another couple bumps either side of my anus that have a burning sensation, and the ‘flap’ that I thought was my haemorrhoid has swelled even more than the past couple of days. I’m in agony. I’m going to see the doctor tomorrow, but do you think it’s still piles or something else?

Hi. I just asked a question about my thorbbing anal pain in the right side of my anal area that worsened when i bent forward or coughed etc., and most people said it was a hemeroid or piles. Is this serious? Right now I cannot feel anything down there when I press the area with my fingers. I get no extra discomfort and I don’t feel a lump or anything. It’s only from like "pressure" or bending forward and such. Are hemeroids a big deal? Do I sound like I’m in the early stages? Could someone please give me an explanation on this. Websites haven’t been TOO helpful for me. Thanks alot.

Ok so me and my boyfriend have been together for over a year n a half now but we have never done anal before and i am worried its going to hurt he has been asking since we started dating but i always said no because i have piles, i also never liked the idea and i still don’t like it, but i have found out he has been looking at anal porn online and he wont sleep with me but now i have said i will do anal for him he is sleeping with me i feel like he just wants one thing but i want to know if it is safe for me to be going it with piles or not plzzz help me (for the past readers i was not p/g :’( )
my ex bf did it to me with out my consent and i bleed for 3 weeks

About 2 days ago I noticed a bright red streak of blood after a bowel movement, naturally I freaked out and immediately became very worried, I looked up possible causes and found that it could be piles or an anal fissure, or at worst cancer, and found that if it is an anal fissure water and fiber will help. So I started to drink more water and eat foods with more fiber, the next time I had a bowel movement I could not notice any more blood and so dismissed it as nothing. Today though, my bowel movement was quite large and hard to pass, I also noticed a slight stinging/burning on one side of my rectum, and I noticed another small amount of blood in a small piece of stool. I haven’t been experiencing any other symptoms apart from the slight stinging/burning and otherwise feel fine, I should also mention that I only noticed the blood after a large stool that was difficult to pass. (as I said, I haven’t been drinking much water/keeping up my fiber intake) I will most definitely be seeing a doctor as soon as possible to rule out anything serious, but would just like to be reassured as I am a bit of a hypochondriac and tend to over think things and work myself up over something that’s not as bad as I’m thinking. In short, I had a large and difficult to pass bowel movement, after my next bowel movement I noticed blood on the surface and on one side of the stool, I worried and researched what it could be, started drinking more water/getting more fiber, next bowel movement was average and I couldn’t notice any blood, started to feel less worried, next bowel movement was again large and difficult to pass, I noticed a stinging/burning feeling that was present, and here I am now, worried again about what could be causing it, the blood is red, not exactly dark, just like if you were cut and blood surfaced, it appears to be normally colored/slightly more bright, and it appears to be on the surface of the stool, it doesn’t separate when in the water, so I’d say it is in the bowel movement, but on the surface, I’m 17 and am not exactly fit but also not too lazy, and I haven’t been experiencing anything else out of the ordinary. Sorry for the overly long explanation, needed to include everything so you could help with what it could possibly be, I’m leaning towards piles or a fissure, but would like a second opinion to help me calm down and be less worried before I see a doctor, thanks in advance.
