I am looking to enlist in the Air Force and have an appointment coming up at MEPS. I have a hemorrhoid but its not bleeding. I don’t want to get disqualified at MEPS and was wondering if I should cancel my appointment until I get the hemorrhoid taken care of? Or will I be alright with the physical?

had unprotected sex 5 months before appeared that’s why i’m nervous about herpes. and had bump near pubic area but almost certain its due to excessive sweating because i’m an athlete.
sometimes tingling sensation in groin area & recently inflamed groin that went away in 2-3 days. im very worried and have an appointment tomorrow for herpes testing. hopefully results will come back negative.

I have been getting a lot of rectal bleeding for the past month or so. I sit pretty much all day, and I have visible external hemorrhoids that look pretty bad. I have had bleeding on and off over the years, had 2 colonoscopies and it came up as just hemorrhoids both times. But I have never had it for so long.

It gets worse after bowel movements, but it starts bleeding for no apparent reason even during the day, perhaps due to pressure from sitting. I don’t know.

I have a doctor’s appointment in a couple of days – finally – but I’m really concerned. What could it be? What else should I be looking for?

This is a real question and I would appreciate real answers.

Okay this is kinda a weird question to ask on here but I figured what the heck, I know I am not the only person this is/has happened to.

So over the period of the last 6 months I have went to the restroom and passed some blood in my stool. It freaks me out and causes me to have anxiety and it has me a little worried. I will do it and the next time I go there won’t be anything. And I won’t do it again for a month or two. It isn’t a lot.. just enough to worry me.

Now is it true that you can have hemorrhoid problems and it not hurt or burn, because I have none of those symptoms. No pain, burning, itching nothing.. Just the blood which is bright red like fresh blood.

If anyone has any ideas on what it could be please let me know. Serious answers only please, this is no laughing matter. I am setting up an appointment with my doctor later today but it may take weeks… just preparing myself for that kinda. Doctors scare me lol.

Thanks!

I hope someone out there can give me some advice/insight…
Approx 3.5 weeks ago (after some heavy lifting- moving furniture) I developed a very painful hemorrhoid, I experience some bleeding. After 4 days I went to the doctor (a dr i have never been too and would not prefer to go back to – did not seem to know what she was talking about). Based on a visual exam (pain was too intense to do any further exam) She told me that I was experiencing both hemorrhoids and anal fissures. She had to call in another dr (who did not examine me), he prescribed proctosol hc 2.5% and recommended stool softeners and sitz baths. A follow up appointment was not recommended or scheduled. It has been 12 days since that appointment- while I am much better than I was I am still experiencing moderate to severe pain 90% of the time. The problem felt like it was on my left side, over the last few days I have started to experience mild pain/discomfort on the left side of my vagina, my perineum also appears swollen and is somewhat tender. Deification has improved, it is not regular yet and pain is increased afterward.
Should I been 100% better at this point – is it normal to take nearly a month to recover from something like this or could there be something more serious going on? I have experienced hemorrhoids only once before – mild pain, went away in a few days. I am otherwise in good health and shape. I hope that someone as some legitimate advise – aside from "go back to the doctor"
Thank you
