so, i’m not sure if this is my hemorrhoids r something serious. i just had a bowel movement and when i wiped i had bright red blood on the toilet paper on…there was none in the actual stool. i took at mirror to look at my buttocks and it seems as if my external hemorrhoids are enlarged and one sorts of hurts a lot and stings. i’m not sure if i strained or tore something down there. what do you think it could be…i don’t want it to be cancer ;-/

p.s. i have had hemorrhoid problems before where they got irritated and enlarged and hurt to sit. so, i’m not sure if this is the same thing.

For a few months, I have found blood in my stool. I looked in the mirror and found a hemmorhoid or two. I figured that was the problem, so I didn’t go to the doctor for it until a week ago. I have a colonoscopy scheduled on April 19th and am now scared, because my grandmother told me about polyps. by the way, i’m 16. i then read that polyps could result in colon cancer. please tell me. do you think i am too young to get polyps and/or colon cancer?

about a month back i felt it but it vanished in two days. but recently i had upset stomach and had to use toilet for more than thrice a day for 2 to 3 days now. although my stool is not watery and i do not have to push hard, i noticed after passing stool there is small pain in the tail (i dunno know how to describe) its behind anus and where the spinal cord ends. when i checked it in the mirror i saw the skin is torn about an inch lengthwise.
i’ven’t checked bleeding in the toilet but anus doesn’t pain. due to the pain in the tail area i can’t sit now. and now that i have a doubt that it could be piles, i’m getting worried more.
pls suggest what is it. is it hemorrhoids or something else. if yes, what is the treatment for it. which specialist doc should i visit for this. my father had the problem of hemorrhoids and he even used to see blood in the stool.
i’m confused and worried. pls answer.
i’m 32 and do not have any disease. there is no pain while passing the stool. it’s just that i had used the toilet for more than 3 times a day.

this is super embarassing, but i need help. The other day i was a little constipated. and since then, the area around my anus has been killing me. Like, even when i walk sometimes it feels like i’m being stabbed in the ass. I looked at the area with a mirror last night and didn’t see anything that looked dangerous or out of the ordinary, so I ruled out external hemorrhoids. I read online somewhere that only external hemorrhoids hurt, and internal ones are usually painless. So…I don’t know what the deal is. I have Tucks pads, and they haven’t really been working so far. But I’m really freaked out, and I can’t "go", because it hurts so freakin bad.

What’s going on, and what should I do?

I have really not drank any water the last week and just the last two days im having trouble passing stools. I looked at my butt in a mirror to see if i had hemorrhoids but didnt see anything but when i pushed really hard it seems like part of my butt was coming out is that normal? Anyway’s i was digaonsed with super small pin head size hemorrhoids on the outside of my butt which are basically almost gone. If i had an internal hemorrhoid would i know? Like it feels like I have a brick in my butt i need to poo so bad. I can feel the pressure from it from i sit down but no pain or anything. My diet the last week is like 5 cans of pop at least a day greasy fast food, basically no water at all hot dogs, cheese and sausages. Could this be why I am not pooping?
i am 23
