bleeding hemorrhoid/anal fissure?

Mynameisrivate asked:


Over the past weekend and early in the week, I suffered from food poisoning. As a result, I now have what seems to be pretty bad hemorrhoids/anal fissures. I haven’t looked but it seems that the entire rim of my **** is swollen. Pain is not as much of an issue, as that I can deal with, but it is the bleeding. For the past 2-3 days, it has been bleeding consistently. Not a lot on a regular basis, just more as if it is completely raw, like a bad scrape. I’ve tried sitz baths, neosporin, ice packs, and resting on my stomach as treatment.

The pain has dramatically declined, so I have a feeling it is working somewhat, but the bleeding has not. I have yet to try Tucks pads as I have seen recommended, are they really the best way to help stop the bleeding and are there other home remedies to stop it?
Edit: I can pretty much tell the bleeding is externally and not internally as the pattern of blood spots on toilet paper matches up with swollen areas around my ****.

    Gosh, I’m really sorry, that can’t be fun. the first thing I think you should do is see a doctor becasue maybe the bleeding is from the inside of your rectum. Good luck.

    agree with rn – get the anusul that you stick up your bum.
    they contain a steroid which will shrink the tissue back.
    you can massage them with a moist wipe and try to push them back in also.
    witch hazel is also good for shrinking them but it stings a little.
    its unusual to have roids after food poisoning unless you were straining a lot to poo, as they usually come after constipation, so if they persist then see a doc

    The itching and burning caused by haemorrhoids can make it difficult to sit still. How can you ease the discomfort and fight flare-ups? According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful:
