Today I bled a lot into the toilet while having a BM. It wasn’t bright red…not dark red either…in between. The water was all red and there was clots and maybe some tissue or something (looked like small, thin squares of red flesh). I think I have a hemorrhoid cuz I can feel a bump there, but my stomach and intestines really hurt and have been for like 2 weeks. You think the blood is from the possible hemorrhoid or something worse? Dont tell me to go to the doctor…i don’t have insurance and don’t want to.

I’ve had (what I believe to be) an internal hemorrhoid for a few days and it’s become very painful, if not impossible to pass a BM. The hemorrhoid is painful enough, and when I clean it i have a little bit of pinkish red on the tissue. I bought Preporation H suppositories and some natural stool softeners today, and took both. How long can I expect this nasty thing, and any suggestions on dealing with the intense pain of trying to BM?

I’ll start off by saying I am only 23. A couple of weeks ago I came down with a pretty bad cold. I went to the doctor and he put me on some antibiotics that didn’t help, all my symptoms stayed the same. It hurt to eat anything besides soup so my bowl movements became very runny, like diarrhea. One day after a BM i noticed blood on my toilet paper, I didn’t think too much about it but the next day when I had a BM it felt like I was passing glass, so after a little internet research I figured I had a hemorrhoid.

The next day was a little uncomfortable but after having another BM that night, I was in a lot of pain. It was hard for me to go to sleep because of the pain, however when I woke up the next day, I seemed to be better. Worried about the night before I decided to bend over in the mirror and take a look myself. I have a large pink lump about the size of a kidney bean where my anus once was! I was very concerned and I have been edge about it ever since! I am too embarrassed to tell any friends for family even though I have tried, I just can’t spit it out. I have been drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of fiber just hoping this will clear up and go away on its own! Whenever I pass a BM it is still painful and bleeds. This has only been about a 5 days total and the pain is manageable I’m just concerned that if I do not take action it might get worse worse, or not clear up at all.

I’d really rather just wait it out if that is an option, I don’t know why I find this too embarrassing to talk over with anyone, but even the thought of going to the doctor at this point is mortifying and I can only bear to do it if it is necessary!

To recap, I believe I have an external hemorrhoid, will it go away on its own or MUST I seek medical attention? Thanks for any help!

I’m a teen girl who’s wondering about internal hemmoriods.

I had a painful bm yesterday. And this morning. With a small amount of blood when I wiped. Then today my rectum? Burned for like 3 hours after that. What’s going on?

Im 7 months pregnant and ever since i got preggo i havent been able to have anal sex due to hemorrhoids. The ones on the outside have gone down so much they are almost non-existent but I think i may have a problem with internal. I haven’t had any bleeding with a BM in the past few days so i was wondering what I might expect if i went ahead. I really want "treat" my boyfriend but im afraid of any damage. Any suggestions?
