stool test came back positive for blood twice, but during this time she had inflammed hemorrhoids. After the suppository treatment, she no longer has any pain or straining during bowel movement and all visible signs of red blood on the stool and toilet paper have disappeared. So how likely is this to be something more serious like colorectal cancer? She is now due to repeat the stool test again

I’ll start off by saying I am only 23. A couple of weeks ago I came down with a pretty bad cold. I went to the doctor and he put me on some antibiotics that didn’t help, all my symptoms stayed the same. It hurt to eat anything besides soup so my bowl movements became very runny, like diarrhea. One day after a BM i noticed blood on my toilet paper, I didn’t think too much about it but the next day when I had a BM it felt like I was passing glass, so after a little internet research I figured I had a hemorrhoid.

The next day was a little uncomfortable but after having another BM that night, I was in a lot of pain. It was hard for me to go to sleep because of the pain, however when I woke up the next day, I seemed to be better. Worried about the night before I decided to bend over in the mirror and take a look myself. I have a large pink lump about the size of a kidney bean where my anus once was! I was very concerned and I have been edge about it ever since! I am too embarrassed to tell any friends for family even though I have tried, I just can’t spit it out. I have been drinking a lot of water and taking a lot of fiber just hoping this will clear up and go away on its own! Whenever I pass a BM it is still painful and bleeds. This has only been about a 5 days total and the pain is manageable I’m just concerned that if I do not take action it might get worse worse, or not clear up at all.

I’d really rather just wait it out if that is an option, I don’t know why I find this too embarrassing to talk over with anyone, but even the thought of going to the doctor at this point is mortifying and I can only bear to do it if it is necessary!

To recap, I believe I have an external hemorrhoid, will it go away on its own or MUST I seek medical attention? Thanks for any help!

how come sometimes there is blood on the toilet paper when I wipe then sometimes there isn’t ?

also, is internal hemorrhoids dangerous?

im a 15 year old guy

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..

I feel this lump near my rectum last week… i carefully examine it and it's still the same size.

right now it's now hurting when i touch it nor any signs of blood when releasing my bowel or showing on toilet paper. Nor it doesn't itch.

Is this External Hemorrhoids? or something else? Should I go to doctor?

the only reason why i think it might be hemorrhoids is because it's a lump — that's all.

they say get preparation H to solve this?
