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.

This is extremely embarrassing to ask, but anyway…

About a year ago I noticed a little blood on the toilet paper after I took quite a large poop, nothing major, it was just a little spot so I thought nothing of it.
I’ve always had difficulty passing a stool, and have usually had to strain really hard to get one out, causing quite a lot of pain. After I’ve done this, however, there is no pain whatsoever.
Over the past two weeks or so, I’ve had extra trouble passing a stool, due to straining so hard. After I’ve done, I noticed blood dripping in the toilet and bright, red blood on the toilet paper.
About an hour ago I took a very hard poop, and there was quite a lot of blood. I tried to minimize my straining as low as possible, and hardly didn’t at all, but there was still blood.
I’ve looked into this I figure I either have an anal fissure, or hemorrhoids. I’ve felt around for a lump and there doesn’t appear to be one on on my exterior. There’s so pain or blood after I’ve passed a stool. Does this sound more like an anal fissure or an internal hemorrhoid?
I’m extremely terrified right now. Depending on which I’ve got, is it dangerous, and will it go away on its own? What changes in my diet do I need to take? I’ve tried drinking quite a lot of water and eating sources of fiber over the past couple of days to get my stools normal, but this hasn’t worked so far. I don’t want to tell my parents. I’m really hoping this will go away on its own, I’m just scared.
Thank you.
If worst comes to worst, and I have to tell my parents, I’ll tell my mum. How can I tell her about this? What should I say?

I just did anal with my boyfriend two days ago. No he does not have an STD of any kind. I am pretty sure this is an Internal Prolapsed Hemorrhoid. But I do have a few questions, and if you believe that I don’t have an Internal Prolapsed Hemorrhoid, you’re guesses, suggestions, advices, or ANYTHING helpful will be very appreciated!

So I just did anal for the first time, STD is definitely not a cause. But I’m assuming this developed a couple hours right after? Because I was fine until I started walking an hour or so later it just felt uncomfortable. It does not hurt to use the bathroom, there is no blood, and it does not itch.

( We did use a ton of lube and we did use a condom at first, but the condom hurt, so he took it off and it didn’t hurt as bad anymore. )

Anyway the morning after I felt around down there and this small lump ( bean size ) of skin was there, about skin colored, and it’s a bit sensitive to the touch. I have been researching this for hours and it seems like I’m in third degree.

Second degree will retract on it’s own, It’s been a couple of days, have I not waited long enough to see if it’ll retract? OR. . .

Third degree it wont retract on its own and you need to push it back in manually.
Now if it is third degree, do I push it far enough up so that it wont come back out easily or just so it’s not showing?

Yesterday night I was out swimming in the pool and it was so easy to push it back in and it was fine. I no longer felt any discomfort in moving. After I used the bathroom though this morning, I’m assuming it popped back out?

So thats another question, Do I keep pushing it back in? Or will it make it worse? If you are in third degree is it normal for it to go in and then sometimes come out?

And after I have pushed it back in is that it? Do I need to do anything else? Or will time simply fix everything?

And I’m assuming I should never do anal again? -__-;;

I recently went to the doctor and he explained to me that I have an external hemorrhoids for sure. He had given me a cream and suppository, and told me to let him know if I bled within 5 days of using this medicine. Well I bled twice, but it was more so a streak of blood in the bowel itself which I’ve really never seen before, and a little bright blood on the toilet paper. Now the reason why I saw him is because I became really constipated for a couple of days, and the hemorrhoid just got a lot more swollen, so that’s when I said I need to see a doctor. The cream worked like a charm and shrunk my external one drastically. But until recently there’s been very little blood in the water of the toilet, but some in the feace it self like a streak. Now I am over-weight, and all I do at my job is stand up for hours. What should I do? Is the blood streak in my feace just my hemorrhoid? Could it have been the suppository that caused the bleeding?

Okay, so I have had hemorrhoids for about 4 1/2 months now. I do not have insurance yet as I just moved to a different state and the insurance has not been activated yet. I’m 18. When I first noticed this almost 5 months ago I would notice a slight pin pricking sensation on the right side of my anus as I was having a bowel movement. But even before I even noticed that symptom, maybe a couple of weeks before I was lying in bed and woke up with extreme pressure in my rectum. It wasn’t painful, but very irritation constant intense pressure..It eventually went away and I got some sleep. As the months have been going on the pain of going to the bathroom is worse. I notice the pin pricking sensation in more than one spot in my anus as I am having a bowel movement and also some slight burning is occurring. Afterwords it is very sore and as it goes on my anus swells and then the intense pressure comes back. For the past maybe month and a half I have been taking some tylenol rapid release pills after every bowel movement (usually every couple of days i have a bowel movement, on occasion i have had one a couple of days in a row). This takes care of the swelling and pressure..but I can not take the pain of the actual bowel movement anymore. It is extremely painful. I do not strain going to the bathroom, everything is pretty soft. Also on some occasions I will notice some bright red blood in the toilet bowl or on the toilet paper..which is also a sign of hemorrhoids. I have tried using preparation h creams and medicated wipes but they don’t work. I think they are internal hemorrhoids as I do not see or feel anything on the outside. Like I said I cannot go to the doctor right now as I do not have insurance. I will not 100% tell my mom about this..its very embarrassing and will not bring this up under any circumstance to her. A doctor is different. I read to drink more water (which sadly I admit I do not drink water very much, but am definitely going to add it into my every day diet) and eat more fiber. What foods exactly should I be eating that are high in fiber? Nothing fancy or expensive please..im on a budget and need a simple food. Also, what are some other solutions I could do? I heard something about inserting liquid blistex into my rectum..is that safe? Please help me!! I don’t want to live like this anymore!! I really almost cry every time I need to go to the bathroom because it hurts so bad!
yeah i watch the doctors and heard that too..but unfortunately i cant avoid sitting on the toilet lol.
Larry- I didnt say himroids, I said hemorrhoids so dont tell me to use my common sense..either 1 lear to read or 2 use yours. thanks.

to everyone else..im looking for serious answers. Im so sick of the immature people on here who have nothing better to do with their time than make fun of people and situations.
