i’m not sure if is it an hemorrhoid.but i have these symptoms like constipation’s, got blood on my bowel, painful when i phoo.

I had on and off constipation for three weeks this past month, and while the constipation now appears to be gone, I have this feeling that I have to defecate all the time now! It’s not PAINFUL – just super uncomfortable. I feel like I really, really have to go. I’m thinking this could be caused by a hemorrhoid, since I didn’t realize straining could cause one, and I was constipated/straining to go for weeks. It does kind of feel like there’s something inside the rectum. I’m not feeling the urge from, like, my stomach or bowels – it’s from the rectum.

When I applied some A&D ointment the other day I didn’t feel anything, though. Internal hemorrhoid, maybe? I did feel sore and itchy yesterday, with a bit of burning.

In any case, what should I do? I feel like I’m going mad! This sensation is awful. I’ve been taking some hot oatmeal baths, and of course eating more fiber (Benefiber and fruits and veggies, mostly). Would prep. H do anything? : (

And how do you get rid of them? What forces one to have blood in one’s stool and experience the excrutiating pain of constipation from a simple bowel movement? If there is anyone who has any suggestions, they would be sincerely appreciated.

I have a medical condition(I guess you would call it) called faecal incontinence in which I've had chronic nonstop, everyday constipation since the day I was born. Hemorrhoids are caused by constant "pushing" mostly during constipation. I have never had one before but I get more and more nervous everyday about it. What can I do, if anything, to prevent from getting a hemorrhoid.

I have a 1st stage Internal Hemorrhoid. It doesn't bleed yet. I kept a healthy high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water for quite a time now. But still the hemorrhoid gets to me from time to time. So know I would like to get rid of them once and for all. The only problem is that I'm not sure about the consequences that the operation may have. My question is to those who have had such operation and what were the outcomes. Were you satisfied? Do you still have to keep up a certain diet? Does it bleed even after recovery? Does it hurt during constipation? Is there a sense of emptyness in the rectal area?

And most importantly I'm concerned about the day-to-day activities and sports. I myself like to be in an athletic shape so I train a lot(jumping, running, etc.) In general, What do you do now that you never done before the surgery?
