Only Fresh Blood - Internal Hemorrhoids ?
Jun 2, 2016
So - been to the GP today as had fresh blood from backside now for about 3 days with no pain.
She had a good feel around (much to my dismay!) she said no fissures but that I could 'possibly' have an internal hemorrhoid as she felt something 'squishy' but to be honest... She didn't sound very confident!
She's given me some hydrocortisone suppositories (lovely) and said she hopes the problem will disappear as quickly as it came about.
Other than the fresh blood I have no problems whatsoever and no other symptoms.
Also, she mentioned a camera up the bum if it doesn't resolve or gets worse. Help me god!!!

I am posting this because I suspect that I have piles. It all started with minor constipation and with in 2 days it got severe (when I say constipation I mean hardness to pass stool). However, I still go to the loo daily. Anyway, long story short, I have been having severe bleeding, pain and constipation for over a month now. Without having a break. I suspect its piles because it runs all along my dad's family. But I am starting to fear this as it hasn't gone away yet. Is this normal? The blood is fresh and bright. However the pain at the bottom is unbearable. I am already taking enough amount of insoluble fibre, drinking plenty of water, and always had gone to the gym on daily basis. Could anyone throw light on this scenario and tell me if this is normal? I am thinking about going to GP but my work doesn't provide me the chance to do so.

Do you know if second degree internal hemorrhoids can give a positive FOBT test if you do not have noticeable blood.

My internal hems. are not responding to a doctor's injections. They (3) are not major, but I wish (almost) they would become thrombus so it/they could be cut out. I had that years ago.
The pain is not so great as to cause bleeding, toilet trouble but the pain is there every day for two months.
Putting on ointments in public toilets all the time to cool the pain. Awful. Inconvenient and interferes with daily life.
Gets worse with stress.
Getting desperate, looking online - Venapro. But online wonder-meds never seem to work so I'm sceptical.

I am only 18 years old and i have been suffering from hemorrhoids, is this even possible? I have went to my physician and to a gastroenterologist, they have given me countless medications and they haven't worked.i have changed my diet to include more water and fiber but that hasn't worked. When i go to the bathroom there is constipation and its very painful and the hemorrhoids do come out but they go back in when i am done. Should i go to a general surgeon?

I've had my hemorrhoids for several years. It started out as a bit of blood on toilet paper after going to the bathroom. I did see a doctor about it and it was suggested it could be a hemorrhoid and was given suppositories and it was suggested I schedule a colonoscopy. I was 28 at the time. I tried the suppositories and they seemed to work so I didn't go through with the colonoscopy, which was probably not smart on my part.
The bleeding stopped for awhile but would come back. Over the next few years the hemorrhoid became large enough that it would stick out when I went to the bathroom and I'd have to push it back in. I finally worked up the nerve to have it checked and found a doctor I felt good about.
I went in this morning to a colorectal surgeon. He and his nurse were very nice. We talked for a few minutes, and then he had me get on the table for an exam. He used a small scope to look inside and said I had several hemorrhoids and that for the kind I had, banding was the recommended treatment. He said he could do it right now and that most people say it feels like a dull toothache for a day or two after the procedure.
The doctor banded the two largest hemorrhoids. The whole process took less than 30 seconds. The procedure was painless. About a minute after, I started to feel some discomfort like I really had to go to the bathroom. That sensation lasted for about 30 minutes. Then it became a dull pain. It's now 10 hours later and the dull pain remains. But, it's nothing unbearable. I was able to go about my normal activities (I was sure to have the doctor be clear on this) and I have been fine. Sitting in a car is most discomforting. Standing or laying down is best. I did sit in a hot bath and that has helped the discomfort quite a bit.
My doctor said the discomfort should go away in a day or two and the band should take about 5 days or so to fall off. I have a follow-up appointment in three weeks to probably band more hemorrhoids. I really thought I only had one big hemorrhoid but it turns out I have several. At least I know and feel much better about getting them taken care of.
All in all, I'm glad I finally had this done. The discomfort isn't a big deal and totally worth not having to worry about it and dealing with it when I go to the bathroom. I was able to take a nap this afternoon despite the discomfort.
I plan to update this over the next week, and maybe through my next appointment. I'm anxious to see how I feel in the morning!

I am a 28 year old male i have had digestive issues for years now that we are still working on treating
I definitely have hemorrhoids i'm just not sure if i have internal or external or maybe even both, at times i feel the bump outside but also at times i feel like my stool is being blocked and gas as well
i have started taking more fiber in and my moments are good and regular now but are very painful and i feel like i don't go completely the first time then each additional time i go its harder and harder to get the rest out and also it gets thinner in consistency
i really feel like a hemorrhoid is blocking my stool
i am going away for awhile and i can't get to a dr before hand so im just looking at advice on what i can try specifically for the problem of stool being blocked and dealing with potential internal hemorrhoids at home

My sister is 60 years old and is experiencing amounts of blood in her stool lately . She suspects that it is internal hemorrhoids (she had similar condition approx. 3 years ago.) She went to the doctor who examined her and told her that she could not feel any internal hemorrhoids but gave her suppositories and told her to return in two weeks time for another look. My sister has no other symptoms, no pain except for some itching after she goes to poop and no changes in bowel habits, appetite etc. My question is therefore, is it possible for someone to have internal hemorrhoids that a doctor cannot feel?

Has anyone experienced bad flare ups with internal hemorrhoids since starting this perimenopausal rollercoaster? Sorry to be so personal but is this hormone related?

I've been having problems with hemorrhoids for many years now. Probably about 8 years or so (I am 27). It has gotten worse in the last 2-3 years I'd say. How do I tell if this is internal or external hemorrhoids?
I've read up on the symptoms and I'm not sure how to read this. For me, the flare up only occurs after a bowel movement. If i go to sleep right after, the hemorrhoids is always gone. Sometimes the hemorrhoids will go away on its own after a few hours on its own (how? i dont know).
All i know is that it never goes on for more than 1 day continuously because it always goes away when I go to sleep. Any idea which type I have? Its gotten to a point where I dread bowel movements because it makes walking difficult (unless I find a comfortable laying position where it will go away on its own). Hoping there is a way to make the hemorrhoids go away within an hour of the bowel movement.

I had piles during my 1st pregnancy and at the birth of my first child but they went within a week so when I got them again after the delivery of my second baby I wasn't concerned, however to cut a long story short 16 months later I have had internal, prolapsed and external piles. I've had them thrombose internally and externally and developed fissures and a Polyp. I've seen 4 different surgeons both privately and NHS and have had an Anal stretch, banding, Stapled Hemorrhoidectomy (PPH) botox injection for a fissure, a polypectomy and just last week doppler guided ligation (Halo) and skin tag removal but here I am laying in bed unable to work, look after my kids, walk or do anything. Everyone is really putting themselves out for me and my friends and family have been great but they can't go on taking time off and asking about me forever.
I still have this feeling of unbelievable fullness, burning, stinging and after the last operation it looks like I have a new inflamed external hemorrhoid. It's gone way past embarrassment for me. I need to get better because I can not live like this much longer.
I eat really well and take lactulose to keep my stools soft but i'm unable to exercise.
Im so depressed and just want to feel normal again. Go for a walk, take the kids to the park, go on holiday, find a job I can't believe all the things this horrible condition is making me miss. I feel like i've missed my baby growing up. I know how lovely it is to be a mum because I enjoyed every minute with my first baby but now i'm a different person in an awful place.

I've been having problems recently that i'm pretty sure is either internal rectal prolapse or pretty bad haemorrhoids. This has made wiping after a bowel movement very difficult. I have also been suffering from incomplete evacuation, presumably as a result of the blockage.
I tend to use wet wipes but i still find that i am on the toilet wiping for a very long time. Its an extremely frustrating and demoralising experience. I wonder if anyone else has a similar issue? if so, does anyone have any tips so that I can ensure that i get the whole area clean? As i often worry that i haven't been able to clean everywhere properly and that its making me smell bad.
I have tried wetting the wet wipes with warm water, but i find this makes the area more sensitive which causes pain when wiping further down the line.

Hi recently I had massage and handjob where masseuse was clearly bleeding in her finger, it was a fresh cut and I had a very fresh cut on my penis mucous membrane. After finishing the hand job I saw little blood on my penis which had come in contact from the who gave massage. There was a clear blood fresh blood that had gotten into contact with the open wound I had in my penis. Now I'm terrified because she had a fresh blood from her hand and which clearly came in contact with my very fresh open wound which can give direct access to my bloodstream. I'm worried now because of this because it was a fresh blood, fresh cut and I did see some blood in my penis which was exactly on top of my wound. Did I put myself in to risk. I'm trying to contact her but she has switched off her mobile. No sex no kiss was involved.

I have been dealing with a small lump around my anus. It has been a year and when i first got it, i looked for it online and the articles that i read all said that the lump will heal by itself. It already been a year and im more of tired of it. It's not painful, but sometimes it does itches, when defecating, sometimes i will find blood on the poo, but all this happens really seldom. The lump does not bother much, but it's been more than a year and it is still there. Sometimes the lump will shrink but sometimes it will grow back, and i really do not know what to do. I am definitely going to see a doctor about it, but i will like to know ideas or anything about what i am dealing with.

I am bleeding sizable out of my anus every bowel movement, it's freaking me out. I'm still trying to recover. How should I approach toilet breaks im general? Keep passing stools even as I bleed a considerable amount without a care?
Just a bit of background, I'm currently 18 and male. Since the issue I have right now is more than likely haemorrhoids, I think it's also important for me to say that my granddad died from cancer (specifics which I do not know) but my mum has told me he used to go to the toilet and lose blood to the point of passing out during his battle with cancer.
A few weeks ago, I started to notice small patches of blood on my toilet paper as I wipe, I paid quite little attention to it at first but was absolutely shocked when once, blood started coming out along with the stool. To describe, a line of blood would follow the walls of each stool and blood would drip out from my anus and change the bowl of water into red. The blood is also bright red. There was a slight sting as the stools moved.
I approached my mum who's a trained pharmacist and she diagnosed me with having internal haemorrhoids since there weren't any physical bumps along my sphincter muscles and decided to put me on a good diet. I'm now having quite alot of vegetables and eating a good 8 or so nutritional tablets such as omega oil as an example.
But the problem still persists and I'm still seeing blood. literally in the way I've just described, the problem hasn't returned to its previous condition of just a patches on tissue.
I am absolutely frightened to even use the toilet and it's getting to the point thinking about it makes my heart race and my knees weak. Imagine going to the toilet itself. It's bothering me both physically and mentally. To make things worse, I have my high school finals in just about a week from now!
How do I go about this problem right now? Should I just keep passing stools even when I see blood coming out at a sizable amount?

After a bout of constipation early this year (I was on a liquid diet because of a throat issue and didn't consume much fiber for 2 weeks), I had 2 bowel movements with a little bright red blood either on the stool or the toilet paper. Started consuming more fiber, it got better for a few months...2 months ago, had a day where I hardly had any water during the day (was out and busy and it just slipped my mind except when I was super thirsty), then I had a little bright red blood again. Today, I was riding a bike, my butt started to hurt. Shortly thereafter, I pooped with a little blood on it. My mom has battled hemorrhoids since she was in college. Do you think I have hemorrhoids or should I be more worried?
No vomiting or diarrhea, no unexplained weight loss or fatigue, no consistent changes in stool size or shape...On occasion, I'll feel a burn when pooping.

Firstly let me explain how it all started. It started a year ago in August 2014, when i found bright red blood drops in my stool. I got really worried. It happened for a couple of days and stopped. Then again after 6 months or so, in Jan2015, it again happened, the bright light drops of blood in stool. This time i straight away went to a gastro doc for a checkup. He recommended the colonoscopy exam. I did that and the report came up with internal hemorrhoids upto acceptable limit. He gave me some laxatives and told me to visit again after 6 months if problem persists. It agian happened after 6 months in June for a week or less. But now, it is again happening after every 1 month. I had it for a week in July, couple of days in August and now from a week or so, in this month too. For this month, i had blood stool for a couple of days and it stopped and now again today it came back, minor. Please let me know if this in any way normal. I fear sometimes that if it's something else than the hemorrhoids, that maybe the exam didn't catch it well or i need to get the exam from a second doc for reassurance, though i have had no other symptons as of yet.
Please advise on this. I feel quite stressed out when it happens. I have these bad thoughts too of cancer and start browsing the net for it.
I have no drinking/smoking and drug habits. I have started eating fruits daily in breakfast, though sometimes i can't avoid my urge to eat non-veg food. i also do regular weight lifting exercises. I am quite a gym addict. I read that lifting heavy weights also cause this. Please i don't want to give up my passion. Please advise.
