Just simple hemorrhoids?

Question:

Okay for the past several months after I have a bowel movement there is a signficant amount of blood in my stool. Like there is splatters of blood everywhere too and when I wipe there is more blood than stool. It never hurts or anything so I just figured interior hemorrhoids but last night I had a bowel movement, blood as usual and I didn't think anything about it. I then took a shower and went to bed. When I wake up this morning I go to the bathroom just to pee and I look and my underwear has blood all over it from my butt. It's beyond embarrassing really, there isn't a need to go to the doctor is there?

Answers:
Generally you need to see a doctor -
What are you dietery needs - you need to undergo a change in diet and produce. Don't eat stuff because your told to - eat it because your body needs it...there is a difference.

Keep away from tabasco, curry, mustard, pepper especially pepper. These are all products that cause constipation and block bowel movement. Take plenty of wet foods like soup and lots of fibres.
If you have hemorrhoids then its best to have 'Anusol' product in the house and use it regularly.

Most folk think this is a one off problem though it is inherited from either of the parents - so go ask them for clarification and how they dealt with it.

In any case if the symptoms continue then you do need to see a doctor and perhaps an operation for a torn intestine.

Yes. There IS a need to go to the doctor, and at once. What you're describing is SERIOUS. It's much more than just a hemorrhoid acting up. You're describing enough blood loss for you to be seriously anaemic as well. Time for the ER, buddy. I'm so confused, why do you guys wait until you're half dead to go to the doctor's??? There's a time and a place for everything under the sun, and that includes going to the bloody doctors. Who the hell cares about embarrassment when your **** is bleeding like that? Were you planning on waiting until you were almost dead to go, darlin'???

i would have to say "yes" go to the doctor!
if it was just an occasional thing, then maybe i wouldn't, but it's been months, so go!!!

Yes, you should see a Dr. Typically hemorrhoids are painful. It may still be hemorrhoids, but could also indicate a more serious condition. I would find a GI Dr soon.

Yes, go to the doctor. Blood and stool is a bad combination. Having blood in your stool is minor, but having stool in your blood can lead to all sorts of seriously nasty infections. If you've been having these symptoms for months, you could be risking infection. Go get it looked at.
