I’m taking an Anatomy and Physiology class and we just hit the section about the Digestive system. My book is doing a very bad job of explaining half of it. I feel rather silly asking this question, but what is exactly is the difference? Is the large intestine also the colon? Is it a part of the large intestine?

Thank you for taking the time to look at this question and for your answers. =]

My husband has been put on a high fiber/low fat diet for health reasons. We just started and I am sure in six months I will have this down. But for now, could you suggest things to eat or any cookbooks that come to mind. Thanks in advance.
Tia, Thank you so much. I was trying to give you a thumbs up and accidentally hit the wrong one. Sorry! I appreciate you taking the time to type all of this in.

My doctor is an idiot. I have Painful INTERNAL hemorrhoids. I googled it, and it says internal hemorrhoids arent painful. – Mine are!!! :-S Well it only hurts when im passing a stool. Not otherwise. I have to sort of hover over the toilet, otherwise it hurts whilst it passes out. Has anyone else ever had this problem? It bleeds occasionally too. There is red blood on the toilet paper and it isnt mixed in. Ive has this since last July, and it wasnt bleeding then, i used over the counter meds and it was fine whilst i am on them, but soon as i stop, all the problems start again! Its back now with a vengance!

I went to see my doctor today, and told her the above. and she didnt even examine me. She told me "Do you see a doctor when you have a cold?" I said "no" and she said "Well I have more important cases than your hemorrhoids. Its such a common thing, just go to the pharmacy and buy something next time. If the problem isnt there when your on the medication, why do you stop?…
…BECAUSE IT SAYS NOT TO USE IT FOR MORE THAN A WEEK!!!!!!! DUH!
So, my question is HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD HEMORRHOIDS LIKE THIS? Internal, but you have pain when passing a stool. also, my a*us has a hard lump around it. ive booked an appointment with another doc. but i just need some feedback in the meanwhile! Im peed off, what if ive got cancer or something, she should be struck off the list!
And just a note to say thanks for taking the time to answer. Enjoy your deux pointe!

i am 39 weeks and was so happy that i didn’t have a problem with hemorrhoids because i’ve heard they’re common during pregnancy…but this morning i realized i have one. it’s awful and it hurts. i’m wondering though, i’m due in anytime now and want to know, will it get worse during delivery? also, does it go away on it’s own after delivery or will i have to have some treatment?
Thank you ladies for taking the time to answer. It’s getting worse…yesterday it wasn’t so bad, I knew it was there but wasn’t bother me too much. Today, it hurts to sit!! I’m SOOO worried about delivery…ughhh I feel like it’s gonna get huge from pushing so hard. very worried about this. Thank you guys again.
