Ok guys *and girls this one is going to be a lil dirty so sorry in advance

I’ve had a bad stomach for a week or so now, a mix between heavy diarrhea & constipation. (today was the latter)

I usually tend to find a little fresh blood (and some black blood) on the tissue paper but I’ve put this down to a recurrence of haemorrhoid’s (which ive had ligated twice with a rubber band)

whats concerned me is today after a movement of bowels, there was a LOT of blood on tissue inc. what looked like a blood clot, tar like in appearance; dark red & gooey

I did check in toilet to make sure I wasn’t bleeding out, but it appeared I was, there was also a considerable amount of Fresh blood mixed in with solid stool, as well as a few drops of blood in the water.

I feel generally ok, a little weak & i have a bit of a fever but I did have a few drinks last night so I put it down to this – or could it be something more sinister ?

sorry for the disgusting nature of this question people and I hope someone can give me a decent answer…

PS im 29 years old, & overweight. (oh and cancer seems to run in my family hence part of concern)

Thanks in advance !!

I’m 15 so it isn’t like I’m a perv or anything weird. I begged my mom to take me to the video game store which she did but then she had to stop at the dollar store to get tampons, rubber bands, and hemorrhoid creme. While we were there we saw my crush with her older sister. I made a comment about it being weird that women use a cream opn their nipples, which I saw in the hemorroid aisle, and she explained why they use it and when I said breastfeeding was gross, she loudy stated, "well, you were breastfed and I’m glad I did it ‘cuz it made you a healthier baby." She heard and laughed out loud. Also, why don’t I remember sucking on my mom’s boobs as a baby? Do you think mom is lying to me? How to live this down to my crush before school starts next month?

Hemorrhoids is a good one :p

I’ve been seeing a gastroenterologist about rectal pain and he suggested doing a flexible sigmoidoscopy without sedation rather than a full colonoscopy because I’m pregnant. He said we can remove any masses we would find during the sigmoidoscopy.

The thing is, he kept reiterating that polyps don’t hurt above the dentate line, internal hemorrhoids don’t hurt above the dentate line yet I have a mass above the detate line that hurts ALOT when I touch it. I know they don’t use anesthetic when they do hemorrhoid banding for internal hemorrhoids, so I’m assuming they wouldn’t use any anesthetic. But whatever it is, it hurts a lot just touching it so I can’t imagine the pain it would cause cutting into it. I’m pregnant so I really don’t want to do general anesthesia.

Does anyone know? Do they numb the area when they remove things from your rectal wall?

I just had a colonastaphy and they said whats been a factor in my severe constipation is hemorrhoids..but dont know how to treat the constipation. He didnt say anything to me or my husband about how to treat them or anything..so what am I going to do? Obviously dieting and tons of fiber is not making them go away on thier own..
And how can I go about getting coagulation, injection therapy, or band ligation. And having them for 4 years is serious right?
