Hemorrhoid? Or.....??

[tat2d_qt]

TMI alert:

I am going to see a Dr, but in the mean time I wanted to get some opinions from ppl i know have had hemorrhoids lol

When I go #2, there is blood covering the stool and on the tp. But there is no pain/itching/irritation at all so I'm not sure its a hemorrhoid. Is it possible its an internal? Or something more serious? And yes, the blood is bright red. Thanks!


Edit: oh, I thought I'd mention, I'm not constipated. I go quite often actually, almost every trip to the bathroom. And its usually loose.

It's hard to say. I never had itching but you can feel something hanging or bumping out. Gross, huh? :lol:

I am pretty sure hems can be internal also.

Good luck!

You could have broken a blood vessel.

I went to the doctor for the same thing maybe 7-8 years ago.
She said bright red blood was okay...it could be a roid or a broken blood vessel. She said bloody stool- the kind you worry about - is more blackish.

She basically stuck her finger up my butt, made me pay $30 and told me I am fine.

It could be internal but I'd get it checked anyway. I know red blood is supposed to be ok but blood from your bum can be a bad thing. If it was occasional I'd chalk it up as a hemorrhoid but if it's every time I'd have it checked just in case.

Ditto! And lmao Paula!

I'd get it check and don't just assume it's a harmless hemorrhoid.

Go to the doctor. You're better off getting it checked out now and finding out everything is fine than you are waiting in case it's something serious. :support:

Thanks for the replies.. couple days after I posted that, my "period" started getting uber heavy and the cramp-like pain worse..so i've been dealing with that. My gyn started me on provera. I started it 1/15 and the cramping started a couple days after that, and the bleeding 1/20.. the bleeding had been about medium, but started getting really heavy 2 days ago..so im going through super+ tampons within an hour and constant pain. I'm going to call the hospital at UNC to see about some kind of financial help cuz i don't have a job anymore, or insurance and can't afford another hospital bill but i am SOOOOOO tired of this pain and heavy bleeding.. i really would like a d&c cuz i know there's ton of back up in there from years of not menstruating and would like it cleaned out.. maybe would help with getting pregnant? idk.. :argh:

:hug:

Hope you're feeling better.

[PinkPaisley]

How you feeling?

[tat2d_qt]

The bleeding stopped on its own..And the gyn wanted me to continue with it but I ended up not even bothering, cuz now i'm dealin with somethin totally different. The first time i saw her she checked my thyroid, and felt something. She ordered an u/s and after that, a biopsy. Well, I have papillary carcinoma (thyroid cancer) and they are removing my entire thyroid this Tuesday =/
