I have rectal bleeding everytime I have a bowel movement?

Question:

I must have ate too much or waited too long to go to the bathroom, because I got a rectal fissure.

I've had one once or twice before, but this one is much worse. There is a lot of blood with every movement. There is enough blood to tint the toilet water. And there is a considerable amount of thick, mucously blood when I whipe.

The pain doesn't bother me, just the idea that this won't heal does. What can I do about this? Would fasting for a few days help?

Im a 25 year old male in excellent health with no other problems... What are some things I could do to speed up the healing process?

[please don't say "go to the doctor", I don't have health insurance]

Answers:
well even if you had a hemmorhoid the doctors don't really do anything about it. They tell you the basic over the counter stuff.

I've also had fissures. THe only thing that might help is taking some stool softeners for a while. You also want to keep the area clean. You don't want that to get infected. You can get all different kinds of wipes now. I think there are some made for hemmorhoid sufferers also now. That will help keep it clean.

Thats what I had to do after I had my kids to get mine to heal. Try not to push so much. Try to relax and hopefully it will heal. It will take a while. It seems like you will heal and feel better then all a sudden its back. But it will go away if thats what the problem is.

But if it continues to hurt ALOT for more than two weeks or so I'd say that you would want it looked at by a doctor. I know it sucks not to have insurance but if you call a local doctors office you can get an idea how much a doctors office visit costs. AND if you do end up going and they suggest a certain medication make sure to mention you don't have insurace. They will give you their "samples" and you won't have to get a perscription filled.

My god, that is such a gross story!

The only thing I can think of now is KY Jelly :-)

You more than likely have a hemorroid. You can but some over the counter medication but if it is not visible on the outside of your anus (sorry to be grtaphic) then you might have to see a doctor. Especially if this has happened to you before.
