I hope someone out there can give me some advice/insight…
Approx 3.5 weeks ago (after some heavy lifting- moving furniture) I developed a very painful hemorrhoid, I experience some bleeding. After 4 days I went to the doctor (a dr i have never been too and would not prefer to go back to – did not seem to know what she was talking about). Based on a visual exam (pain was too intense to do any further exam) She told me that I was experiencing both hemorrhoids and anal fissures. She had to call in another dr (who did not examine me), he prescribed proctosol hc 2.5% and recommended stool softeners and sitz baths. A follow up appointment was not recommended or scheduled. It has been 12 days since that appointment- while I am much better than I was I am still experiencing moderate to severe pain 90% of the time. The problem felt like it was on my left side, over the last few days I have started to experience mild pain/discomfort on the left side of my vagina, my perineum also appears swollen and is somewhat tender. Deification has improved, it is not regular yet and pain is increased afterward.
Should I been 100% better at this point – is it normal to take nearly a month to recover from something like this or could there be something more serious going on? I have experienced hemorrhoids only once before – mild pain, went away in a few days. I am otherwise in good health and shape. I hope that someone as some legitimate advise – aside from "go back to the doctor"
Thank you

I saw a gyn about pain in my pelvic area, he diagnosed me with stage 2 prolapsed uterus and gave me options. Meanwhile the pain continues. I can not have surgery until I can arrange it for work. So my question is, can this cause hemmoroids? I have never ever had hemmorids, but lately have started having itching and pain so started using preparation H. After 3 uses (3 suppositories, once a night), I just had a bm and mucousy blood appeared. My mom had colon cancer at 48, lived until 73, that is not what she died of. I am obese and 47. I know I need a colonospy (sp) but can someone please offer any insight to calm my nerves until then? Hemmorids because of the prolapsed ueterus? Colon cancer probability? I have had minor blood before. Scared to death, will do the tests, but cant right now, looking for comfort right now. Please advise. Thank you.

doctor and he recommended a colonoscopy. I had a few instances of rectal bleeding, but that is not common at all. My anal area itches from time to time, but there is nothing severe. I eat fruits and veggies a lot. I also use a fiber supplement. I work out at the gym 5 times a week. I feel like this is internal hemorrhoids. Does anyone have any insight?

Nine months ago, I had anal sex with my ex boyfriend. He hadn’t ever done it before and it ended up being too rough without proper lubricant. I haven’t been able to do it since and every time I go to the bathroom from there I bleed. I don’t bleed continuously, just what feels like when it’s stretched. I’ve read that it could be hemorrhoids, but these are just normal bowel movements. Is it from having bowel movements that perhaps a rip or tear hasn’t been able to heal properly? Only to be torn open again? I’m not sure what it is and some insight would be helpful. Thanks!

I had an EXTREMELY painful fissure about 2 months ago. I went to the doctor and he described it as an anal fissure with a thrombosed hemorrhoid.

After a week of treatment with nefedepine ointment, hot sitz baths and stool softeners.. I was feeling MUCH better. Within 3 weeks it was no longer a problem.

Well, this time around… I had tried to pass somewhat of a large stool [sorry for the t.m.i] and began to have the symptoms again; the swelling between the anus and the vagina, the pain after a bowel movement and the discomfort. It has lasted almost 2 weeks and is not getting better or worse… it seems like it gets a little better and then is painful again after a BM.

Any insight to what might be going on or what I should do?

Did I tear the fissure again?
