Bit of a long story. About five weeks ago I had a bout with stubborn constipation that started about two weeks before my period. I took Miralax for a while as well as Benefiber, and I’m 90% certain I’m finally back to normal. About a week ago I switched to Citrucel tablets, as they said it didn’t cause any gas. Since my constipation I had been experiencing increased gas and the sensation that I had to pass gas but couldn’t, which was centered in my lower back. It’s a feeling of uncomfortable pressure.

Unfortunately, this pressure sensation just doesn’t want to go away. I’m still taking Citrucel as I (A) get very little fiber in my diet and (B) was NEVER very regular and (C) have internal hemorrhoids from my constipation struggle (I strained, not realizing I shouldn’t).

I also switched to a new birth control pill (went from Seasonale to Lybrel, which lets you never have a period). I’m wondering if any of these things could be causing the problem? I feel pretty lost…it stinks.
It may be important to note that Lybrel contains lower amounts of hormones than the previous bc pill I was taking, Seasonale, and that I have experienced two incidents of spotting since I’ve started Lybrel. I’m also having on and off nausea which may be related to Lybrel, since that is a very common symptom.
Riiight. I did think of that. But its been, like, 3-4 weeks now.

Hi all. I have been having this problem for about 15 days.

I just can’t poop, no matter how hard i try, it won’t come out, even when it comes out, it is thin, and when I take laxatives (Tea), it comes out very little.

So yesterday I decided to take it out by myself. I put a glove in my hand, and I put my finger inside. I noticed something strange inside, there was something like balloon filled with water, something soft. And, in front of anus (Inside), there is something strong, don’t know if that is poop or anything else.

So today, when I still was trying to poop, I took some toilet paper, and I touch it, when i looked my toilet paper, it was wet, no smell, like water.

According to some research around the internet, it could be internal hemorrhoids, what do you think/suggest?

Of course I’ll see a doctor in 4 days. Thank you, and sorry, my English is not really good!

Ok so for the past three days, i have went once a day (to the bathroom) and noticed a tiny (on two occasions) or none (one occasion) bit of blood in the toilet itself, but when i wipe with a tissue it shows a significant amount of blood. I have went to the doctor and he checked for external hemorrhoids, he said there were none, then he told me that 95 percent of cases at my age ( i am 17 ) are internal hemorrhoids in a situation such as this one. He gave me some medicine to take for a week or so. Today i felt some abdominal pain and bloating, i am worried that i am bleeding from the GI tract, can someone please tell me if waiting a week can cause serious damage to my GI tract (if it is not hemorrhoids), and how long i should wait, because i am very worried that i am internally bleeding as we speak and by one weeks time i will suffer from gangrene.

Help is appreciated…thank you
Sorry! forgot to say : It is bright red to darker shade of red blood, and i know that means its from the lower GI, but still, i want to know if waiting a little will cause unrepairable damage…

she said that i have internal hemorrhoids
she gave me suppositories and prep H
it helps but the itching keeps coming back especially at night time
i have been having this itching for a while about 7 months
please give some info??

so i went to the doctor because i had bloody stool and blood in general like a lot and i have a family history on colon cancer, the doctor did an exam and she said it was internal hemorrhoids but i still want a second opinion because they made a similar mistake when my family member was being treated. i just don’t know what to think because im scared the doctor might be wrong. she put me on stool softeners but those give me bad cramps and my body just feels horrible and i get really really nauseous. im not scared i just want to make sure cause its worrying me. thanks
