I’ve heard so much from this. Is it true?

I had anal sex a month ago. Started having diarrhea for 4 days then constipation and now blood in my stools. Have seen a doctor 2 weeks ago and was told i have internal hemorrhoids and anal fissure. How long should this last? Should i go back to the doctor? Will i need a colonoscopy?
I think this has been going on for a while, and recently I think I felt an external hemorrhoid, but it went and the spotting went away for a while when I was eating more fiber, but I saw it again today (the day I didn’t have a high fiber breakfast). I’m 15, probably have a bad diet and I’m a smoker.
Hi,
Last August I started getting blood spots on the toilet paper after a bowel movement. Upon finding this I immediately went to the doctors. The doctor referred me to a specialist. The specialist performed a Ridgid Sigmoidoscopy and said he seen two 2nd degree internal piles. I demanded further tests, however, and he booked me in for Flexible Sigmoidoscopy.
A few weeks later I had the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy and the surgeon performing it told me my sigmoid colon was fine, and the biopsies came back fine. He said he seen no piles, however. He claimed that the bleeding probably came from an anal fissure.
I have no pain during a bowel movement, only occasionally a burning sensation. As odd as it sounds, I felt around the anus after a bowel movement and felt a lump slightly protruding from my rectum, so i push it back in. A small amout of blood was on my finger. The blood is bright red and I have had a streak or two on the actual stool.
I have taken up bodybuilding again recently, and consume 30-40g of fiber a day. My stools are much larger than before I started this, and bleeding has worsened.
Is this piles, or something more serious?
Thanks
My use for it would be losing weight, not to treat diabetes or anything. How good for losing weight is it? If say someone just ate foods with higher fiber than fat and exercised would they lose a significant amount of weight?
Thanks!!
