Hello everybody. I am a 19 year old male. Something strange started happening the last two weeks.

I became constipated two Sundays ago. Well, this happens to everyone from time to time. I thought nothing of it. I drank prune juice, took laxatives, etc. The problem soon disappeared.

Then, this past Friday, I got constipated again. But worse. I took laxatives, drank prune juice, and although I passed stool, I felt like I still had to go, I felt like something was partially stuck in my rectum. Now, it’s like everyday that I feel constipated.

I have hemorrhoids. When I use the restroom, more often that not I will see blood on the tissue paper when I wipe.

My mother has Colitis.

My stool is very thin, almost ribbon like. I have not been able to produce my "normal" stool. I feel like now I HAVE to drink prune juice just so I can pass stool.

What’s wrong with me? Could it be an internal hemorrhoids? A tumor? Cancer? What should I do?

Please, any advice is appreciated.
But, why is my stool suddenly skinny and ribbon like?

My daughter just turned 3, and she has always had constipation problems. The doctor said that she has a hemorrhoid and fissure caused from straining. He told me to just give her prune juice. I am just concerned that I should be doing more. Do I use cream? Do they need removed? How will it go away? Should I get a second opinion? She’s just a little girl and she is in pain and scared to go to the bathroom. I don’t want to take her to another doctor if I don’t need to. If there is a doctor or nurse that could give me advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I am an 18 year old male. I have been to the doctor who prescribed Scheriproct suppositories with a local anaesthetic and also a hydrocortisone formula to shrink tissue. I also apply witch hazel on cotton balls 3 times per day. I have modified my diet to increase fiber intake. I eat high fibre cereals, drink prune juice, eat dates, have a fiber supplement (Benefibre) and a vegetarian diet. I use the bathroom on average twice per day. I don’t have to strain at all. When I do use the bathroom, there is a lot of blood on the toilet paper. Why aren’t they going away? It’s messing my life around, I can’t work properly, or sit down for long periods of time without severe pain.

I am constipated a lot! So sometimes a take something like prune juice to help my digestion, but I was wondering if this could give me hemorrhoids? thanks!
