I first noticed blood in my stool, I informed my mother who replied with, "Oh, it’s nothing. It’s probably internal hemorrhoids, you’ll be fine." After having bloody diarrhea for two weeks without any medical attention, I finally persuaded her to get me into see a doctor. I do not have internal hemorrhoids, but the best thing that I could have is a bacteria infection – the worst could be colon cancer (what my great grandmother died from).

I was put on ciprofloxacin this week, Tuesday to be specific, by my family doctor. On Thursday, I noticed I had developed a rash on my chest that I could not explain – since I’m not allergic to much, nor had I come in contact with anything unusual in my lifestyle, aside the new medication. I looked up ciprofloxacin, and a rash is a serious side effect, according to www.drugs.com that requires medical attention.

I had told my mother I just took my second pill today (my dosage was to take two pills a day) and that the rash was a serious side effect. I asked her what I should do, or if I should call anyone. Like the last time, she said it was nothing.

I do not want to make the same mistake and let this go for two weeks unnoticed. The last thing I want is to put my health is jeopardy.

What can I do?
What should I do?
Is this really nothing, or should I be concerned?

I am a 27 year old female, and have had Ulcerative Colitis for around 14 years. It has been untreated all that time as well, as whatever drugs i have tried to take never agree with me. I am worried i have bowel cancer, because i have read so many times that there is an increased risk of it with colitis. I have had 1 sigmoidoscopy about 4 years ago which showed moderate colitis. I do not want a colonoscopy, i have recently had an ultrasound which didn’t show any lumps or bumps or thickening of the bowel wall.

What can i do to get this damn disease under control, without being pumped full of drugs?
Somebody please help me (

It’s embarrassing to tell anyone about this ,could someone give me some suggestions or somewher i could get some ways to be far away from Hemorrhoid,online drugs can be trusted?

any suggestions are appreciated,please help

I don’t have ED, but I have occasionally used Cialis or Viagra when I’m not feeling 100% confident with a new sexual partner. I have had an occasional hemorrhoid condition which brings me to this forum. I’m wondering if there might be a connection between the drugs used to treat ED (i.e. Cialis) and hemorrhoids.
Let me share my experience. About two years ago, I took some Cialis and within a couple days developed my first known hemorrhoid condition. I thought it was just a coincidence. After adjusting my diet and adhering to other remedies the hemorrhoid disappeared. Everything has been relatively normal since then. However, 6 days ago, I took a Cialis pill and within 24 hours, my hemorrhoid condition was back. This time the hemorrhoid is a bit more pronounced and it appears it has ruptured since there has been some moderate bleeding (which is freaking me out). Is it a coincidence again or do you think there might be a connection?

I am a 29 year old suffering from erectile dysfunction and hemorrhoids who is otherwise healthy. I am lean (with a body mass index in the normal range); I am a vegan; I am very physically active (I play soccer, I run, I ride my bicycle); I have low colesterol; HB below 120/80; normal testosterone levels.
I have never been overweight; I drink alcohol only socially; I smoked socially in the past for a short while; and I never did any drugs.
I have been to many urologists and many other doctors and it only now wandering if there might be some relationship between ED and hemorrhoids. Is so, please explain why that is so! What is the link between the two? Blood vessels, nerves…etc. How could hemorrhoids cause ED?
