about 3 or 4 months ago, i started to feel a pressure in my back. it wasn’t painful, i could just feel a pressure there.

i had developed some abdominal pain and i had A lot of muscle spasms all through out my body.

i was passing small thin stool pieces.

and i had SLIGHT abdominal pain.

this lasted for about 2 weeks.

after that, my symtoms have gotten so much better, my stools size is almost back to normal but sometimes they look like they have been thined out, not that thin but like it did pass by some sort of blockage.

i still get the pressure in my back and muscle spasms but no where near like they were when they first started.

i dont get the abdominal pain anymore

if i eat to much or if i eat some MC donalds or something my lower back starts to ache until i pass a stool and my stomach will me backing these gurgling noises like something is moving around inside but never any pain.

i had an external Hemorrhoids a while back, never went to the doctor for it and it went back inside. i know internal Hemorrhoids can cause blocking of the intestines.

what does this sound like?
does it sound like cancer?

Here is the thing. About 2 months ago I went for a Rectal Ultrasound Exam. This is not the DRE(digital rectal exam) that is done by the use of an index finger with a lubricant. Some doctors refer to it as TRUS(trans-rectal ultrasound). The exam is done with an impelement called "Rectoscope" here is the picture of it: http://www.kolonrektum.com/images/rectoscope.jpg

I was sent there by a urologist, who thought a 22 year old could actually have something wrong with his prostate. Weirdly enough, I agreed since I didn’t know what I signed up for. The examiner assured me that no harm will be done. The exam took about 10-15 seconds, a bit painful but adjustable afterwards. The only problem was that the examiner never bothered to ask me about the presence of hemorrhoids. I didn’t tell him because back then I didn’t know it would be a problem . Anyway, when the exam was over, he to told me to clean up and go home. There weren’t any suggestions on how to make it through the day. The exam results turned out to be perfect NO prostate cancer NO swelling. But up until today, I have now inflamed hemorrhoids and my stools are always hard to pass. My proctologist is almost certain that the rectoscope has ruptured my anal area. And today when passing a stool my internal hemorrhoids popped out. It’s grey and not that hard, but it won’t go back in and it hurts. This is all thanks to that exam. The question is for those who took the same test and were the consequences such as mine???!!! Thank you.

I had breast cancer last year, finished chemo in Oct. For the past 3 weeks there has been blood in my stools. Sometimes there is a lot, sometimes none. Besides the blood I don’t have symptoms of hemorrhoids.

The only pain I have is a back ache which I’ve had since January. A recent had a bone scan has excluded bone mets.

I’m certain I don’t have bowel cancer, I’m too young for starters. I am going to see my GP but not for another 2 weeks. I just wanted to know if metastisis to the bowel is possible? I really don’t want anything else to be wrong with me.
I have been taking Tamoxifen since October 08

I am 22 years old, and i believe I i have prolapsed internal hemorrhoids because i see it sticking out of my anus. I bleed on wiping during stools. My physician appointment is next week but I really want to do something about it until then. I have fixed my diet for the last 2 weeks now to include plenty of fiber and water and my stools are are the right consistency now but the blood has not stopped. So i was wondering, how can i get rid of this problem?

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
