ALSO…if the constipation medicine does work and it still feels blocked is that a serious problem too??? Im not sure if they are supposed to actually do that

I’m only 21 years old, and the last couple of times I had a bowel movement, I have had blood on the tissue paper. I’m assuming this is caused by hemorrhoids. What should I do?

I’ve had an external hemorrhoid for 2-3 months. When I have a bowel movement, it bleeds bright red and it is very painful only when I have a bowel movement.

I saw a doctor a month ago and the doc gave me stool softeners. I’m eating more fiber and sit baths (not that often). What else can I do about this, so that it goes away??

Thanks!

I just had hemorrhoid surgery (staple procedure) 2 days ago and just had my first bowel movement. Afterwards my hemorrhoids seem to be the same as before the surgery. Just as large and all. Someone please let me know if this is okay and normal, orif I need to go back to the hospital.

So as some may know, I am dealing with hemorrhoids, and will be seeing my doctor tommorow.

Lately, I had changed my diet. More veggies, less eating out, more water, less soda, etc. Also improved my bowel habits (going when absolutly needed, no reading in the john, using wipes, etc.)

For the past few days, I have noticed significantly less bleeding (as in less streaks of blood on the stool, less wipes needed to clean off blood, etc. SORRY FOR THE DETAILS!) when I have…say a proper bowel movement, like on days where I get the amount of fiber needed and drink mainly water (I try to maintain this every day).

So when I go to the doctor tommorow, should I aim to say that I have changed my habits and perhaps I can heal the hemorrhoid and shrink it without surgery?

P.S Off topic question, but do bananas have some sort of special vitamin or mineral that help with hemorrhoids? I have been eating two bananas a day, and it has helped a lot.
