Ok this is gross, but two days ago I had extremely bloody stool (pale and bloody). It was so sickening to see and scared me. I mean there was a lot of blood, not just a little. A LOT. I felt some minor pain in my lower left abdomen all day. It is not an external hemorrhoid, that’s for sure. It could be an internal hemorrhoid; however, I do feel pain in the abdomen and internal hemorrhoids, I read, are painless.

Anyways, I don’t want to go to the doctor. Please DO NOT tell me to see a doctor because I won’t. If it’s just a hemorrhoid, I don’t need a doctor, but if it’s something serious, I won’t be able to handle it so I don’t want to know.

But now I am afraid to go to the bathroom again. Does anyone have any knowledge on the best way for me to manage this on my own?

BTW I am a vegetarian, I always eat lots of veggies and whole grains (fiber) I have been drinking lots of fluids. I have increased my fiber and fluid intake since the episode. Social drinker.

I am quite sure I have an internal hemorrhoid. For each bowl movement, there is a significant amount of blood on the toilet paper and in the toilet bowl. I am curious what is the best way to treat this. Because it is in such an uncomfortable area, I would prefer an oral treatment.

I am severely constipated to the point where my stomach is giving off burning pains, and i can hardly pass gas.. i can pee still, but its becoming harder. i started taking miralax tuesday night, and i took it my 3rd time last night (to the white line) and it hasn’t really helped. I dont know if i have an internal hemorrhoid now since i can hardly pass gas without having to force it out, and i dont wanna do that cause it will strain my hemorrhoid. i dont know what to do.. this is really embarassing and i have no one to take me to the doctor my parents are at work. i have been eating fiber all day, apple juice, apples, hummus, chicken, pita bread, oatmeal this morning. it feels like they are moving but i cant get it out, i feel a bunch of stuff like moving around in my digestive system like gas and stuff..

I have an internal hemorrhoid. It isn’t prolapsed nor does it prolapse when I make a bowel movement. The only symptom I have from it is that it is EXTREMLY iainful everytime I make a bowel movement.

Is it possible to have an internal hemorrhoid that is painful without it prolapsing? What can I do about the pain? Please help!!!!

I am 22 years old, male. Lately, I have been having a feeling that my prostate (or something in the area) is enlarged. I notice this the most when sitting down, or even lying down. I have recently had urine tests done, all which have come back negative. I know that I have external hemorrhoids, so I am wondering if what I am feeling is an internal hemorrhoid. I have had slight difficulty urinating, as well as difficulty keeping an erection (usually not a problem). I have pain in my urethra, NOT during urination but usually while sitting around. Is it possible for a hemorrhoid to affect the prostate? Thanks for any help.
