Question 1

bright red blood in stool one time. rectal exam showed no evidence of internal or external hemorrhoids. no pain. drank 3 beers previous night. 30 yrs.

Accepted Answer

Need further eval: 3 beers should have nothing to do with having rectal bleeding, but are at the upper limit of what is considered a safe drinking range for women (4 or fewer and average of 1 or less drink per day). If a rectal exam did not show any cause, it would be prudent to get a referral to a GI specialist to see if they felt that a proctoscopy or colonoscopy was indicated, depending on personal/family history.

Question 2

hello, i just found out i had small external hemorrhoids. there are no symptoms or pain. i was already told to just keep an eye on it. i was curious though, am i able to drink one beer and it be okay with hemorrhoids? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: The most common factor that causes hemorrhoids to bleed is straining, especially when constipated. Unless your drinking beer causes constipation or severe diarrhea, there should be no hemorrhoidal bleeding from drinking a beer.

Question 3

i went to the doctor the other day.i've been having bloody stools, he said i have hemorroids..is this from too much beer? its been 4 days now and i'm still seeing blood in the toilet only when i poop..i'm 37 years old and in fairly good health..i do drink

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids : Hemorrhoids in men are usually caused by constipation and straining while having a bowel movement. I do not believe beer will cause hemorrhoids, however beer can cause gastritis or an ulcer which could result in blood in your stool. You should request to see a gastroenterologist for a possible colonoscopy and endoscopy to make sure nothing more serious than hemorrhoids are the cause of your bleeding. Also make sure you are screened for anemia.
All the best.

Question 4

strained anus from penetration.  no pain, bleeding, discomfort, but may be beginning of hemorrhoid(s)?  time to wait for re-engage or way to heal fast

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician. You may also wish to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. 
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

two times ive gone to the bathroom ive had a clear mucus like substance from my anus. im not experiencing any pain, i do have a hemorrhoid that is external and is almost gone, it no longer hurts, its two weeks old. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: Passing mucus through the rectum isn't concerning unless there is copious amount or associated intestinal symptoms or there is a STD  present.  However since you were experiencing anal discomfort an anal fissure may have been the cause. A proctologist is best to evaluate you if anal discomfort or problematic hemorrhoidal symptoms don't fully resolve.

Question 6

Question 7

what is a tomy hemorrhoid?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I have never heard of a tomy hemorrhoid. Are you certain that is the right term?

Question 8

why is my hemorrhoid white?

Accepted Answer

Perianal mass: That would be an unusual color for a hemorrhoid.  While hemorrhoids are a common diagnosis, there are other conditions which could be confused for a hemorrhoid such as an abscess.  An evaluation by a general or colorectal surgeon would be recommended.

Question 9

what is done for a hemorrhoid?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On whether it is internal or external, just swollen or thrombosed, bleeding or not and whether you are sure it is a hemorrhoid and not an abscess. Bet bet is a colorectal surgeon.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

High Residue!: Hydrocortisone suppositories or cream is helpful for acute flare-ups, but more important is a high residue diet & fiber supplements to avoid constipation.
