Question 1

i believe i have an internal hemorrhoid  because my husband didn't see anything but i bleed and pain during bowel movement. what can i do? i've never had one before.

Accepted Answer

More possibilities: While an internal hemorrhoid is likely, other sources for bleeding cannot be excluded. Best would be to bring it to the attention of your primary care doc at earliest convenience. Mean time use stool softener, adequate hydration, steroid base cream or suppository.

Question 2

i have hemorrhoid but this time i'm bleeding even when i don't have a bowel movement and it was enough to get on my panties is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: Rectal bleeding is not normal and needs evaluation. Among possible causes are hemorrhoids, fissures, polyps and cancer. Your doctor will examine you and likely recommend colonoscopy.

Question 3

my son is having a hard time having a bowel movement and sometimes doesn't go to the bathroom for 6 days. he has horrific hemorrhoids...any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Depends (No pun): Since i don't know his age it's hard to be specific. There are many reasons for constipation including lack of proper nerves in the bowel wall. You need to get him to a doctor to sort this out.

Question 4

why is my hemorrhoid white? its not an abscess. it protrudes during bowel movement and goes back in after standing up. its not painful at all and no blood. also am i supposed to push every time i have bms?

Accepted Answer

: No you are not supposed to push- a normal BM is spontaneous. Pushing is when you want to evacuate yourself or during constipation. What you see coming out is probably not hemorrhoid pl have your doc check it. good luck

Question 5

can hemorrhoids stop bowel movements?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: Painful hemorrhoids can make it difficult pass the bowels but not cause bowel blockage. Usually it is the other way, that constipation causes worsening hemorrhoid irritation. Avoid constipation, drink more water, eat more fiber, fruits and vegetables, add metamucil fiber.

Question 6

Question 8

is it normal for a hemorrhoid to get really big then bleed out during a bowel movement. and then start process over again? mine keeps going that.

Accepted Answer

Yes: yes it is possible. Have it checked although preferably when it is obvious !

Question 9

will having a hemorrhoid make it feel like your gonna have a bowel movement 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Rectal urgency: It is possible, especially if the hemorrhoid is large, internal. It acts like a mass, and your rectum tries to evacuate it. Don't be reassured by this answer, please get it checked by your doc. An exam, with additional tests will best serve you.
