or the past 3 days
my poop is very thin like a pencil
and i have hard time pooping it out

i drink a lot of water and eat fiber

and my stomach keep rumbling
if my pooping wont be normal after 5 days im going to tell my mom about it

and can hemorrhoid cause thin stools?

yesterday when i wiped after passing a stool, there was some bright red blood on the tissue paper. Since then, it has not been bloody, but the inside is a little itchy. I’m pretty sure it is hemorrhoids, though it doesn’t hurt at all.

Are hemorrhoids reoccurring? for instance, once you get them, are you doomed for life? like herpes?

Should i see a doctor or should i wait it out for a while?

I bought some of that "Rue’s Care Oil" natural hemorrhoid treatment so hopefully that will work.

Also, there is no big one that comes out, and it isn’t painful to pass stools yet, though i am careful of pushing hard cause i don’t want to irritate it if it is one.

Sorry for the many questions on hemorrhoids!

So my doc’s appointment got moved back to next week to look at my PROLAPSED hemorrhoid. Till then I am helping my body in the following ways:

- Increase fiber + water intake.
- Avoid going to the john until the "urge" hits. Then I breathe in and out to help avoid straining. I use wipes.
- Adding bioflavoroids (sp?) to diet to strengthen veins.

After starting this home treatment, I notice that when I have "proper" bowel movements (no hard stools, little straining, quick and dirty), I see less blood in the toilet, and less blood when wiping. Also, my hemorrhoid goes back in quicker and easier(shrinking?).

Note: I said "when I have…" I try to have good bowel movements everytime, but occasionally I don’t get enough water, or fiber, etc.

As you may guess, I am not a fan of invasive surgery, hence the home treatment. I research a bit and found that high fiber diets do reduce symptoms, but take a while!

Am I going in the right directions?
P.S I am a college student, so surgery would hinder me a lot, but if it’s the only way, I guess I must.

Also I am sorry if any descriptions gross you out!

Finally, for the medical experts/past experiencers, my hemorrhoid is not painful when it protudes, and when I contract the muscles, it goes back in smoothly. As my diet improves, the amount of blood on my feces decreases.

just curious, because as of late i have been having blood in my stools, and on my toilet paper. even a blood clot earlier today.. now i would go to the emergency room, however it is 30 miles away, and i hardly have any gas, and dont get paid til next thursday… so i made an appointment for friday.. and the only relative i have lives in mass.. and i live in wyoming… so thats why i havnt been to the doctor yet.. but i would like to know the symptoms of hemorrhoids, and possibly anything else it could be..
