I have had one for some time now, but today the pain was excruciating and I noticed I have what appears to be another one. It is so painful. In order to avoid wasting any time on curing these, should I go to my normal physician or my gynecologist? Also…any recommendations on how to ease the pain until then?

ALSO: The past two years I have been having a lot of pain during sex, almost like an internal burning sensation. I have been sexually active for over 2 years and never experienced this pain before. Could this be a result of the hemorrhoids?

(I was recently tested for STDs so those are out of the question! thx)

* The only reason I ask if I should see my gynecologist is if the hemorrhoids are what’s causing painful sex, although right now I’m more concerned about the pain that they’re causing on their own!

Basically I had pretty rough anal sex with a guy last week, and now a week later my anus is in agony. I thought I had piles so, I’ve used germolaids for the past 2 days, showered 3x a day and the pain did start to go away, but this morning I awoke with the most painful sensation ever. It feels like there is another couple bumps either side of my anus that have a burning sensation, and the ‘flap’ that I thought was my haemorrhoid has swelled even more than the past couple of days. I’m in agony. I’m going to see the doctor tomorrow, but do you think it’s still piles or something else?

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

I suppose its a sign that I’m growing up. I am just concerned about what it actually is compared to what I think it might be. About five days ago, I started noticing blood on toilet tissue and a burning sensation for nearly a half hour after using the toilet. And about two days later, and up until this very moment, all I feel is itching, all the time.

According to what I was reading, hemorrhoids are either internal or external. Internal ones bleed and hurt, and external ones itch. However, I have both symptoms. That could suggest that it started out as an internal one, that’s prolapsed, and is now external. But then, I don’t even know that it is a hemorrhoid, and I am not incredibly eager to go to my doctor and show her my butt, let alone stick in a finger, as I’m sure you could understand

Thanks
