Bleeding Hemorrhoid?
Schweetie asked:
I am a 29 year old female… I have had internal & external hemorrhoids for about 10 years now. I got them when I was pregnant with my first child. They never really give me a problem, they are just there. Sometimes they bleed a bit but this time there seems to be more blood and my hemorrhoids inside feel a bit irritated. This only happens when I go to have a bowel movement. This has been happening for the past couple days now. The blood is bright red not dark which leaves me to believe I may have ruptured or tore one of them and that it isn’t anything serious. Can anyone please give me some peace of mind with this. Everyone is telling me to go to the hospital cause it could be something more serious but I honestly think it’s a bleeding hemorroid. I know I should probably have it checked regardless but I just want to know if this is normal for someone with hemorrhoids.
Just got home from the hospital and I have a tear… it isn’t anything serious… thanks for your answers

Hemorrhoids or Piles as they are often called in the UK, are swellings on the inside of the anal canal, the short, muscular tube that connects the rectum with the anus. They are round swellings that can reach the size of a grape. They are not varicose veins. Here are few of the questions frequently asked about hemorrhoids - responses are by other readers.

I WOULD SEE A DR.THAT SOUNDS KINDA SCARY.
You are probably right – a bleeding hemorrhoid. But if there is a lot of blood or it keeps bleeding, seeing a doctor is the best bet to ease your mind.
A fissure (tear) usually heals by itself, however, if there is no improvement in 2-3 days I suggest you buy Rue Care Oil. It is equally successful for treating of fissure as well as hemorrhoids.
