Question 1

how long does bleeding with internal hemorrhoids last?

Accepted Answer

Time works but...: Bleed usually resolves in a few days. Depends on what you have already tried.  The first things are conservative including infcreasing fluid and fiber in diet to ensure that you bms are soft, losing weight, limiting the time sitting on the toilet.  If still a problem you could try banding and finally excision/ligatiom.  Surgery is really the only definitive treatment for this.

Question 2

i have internal hemorrhoids at anal verge (whatever that means) and had a large, thick stool that hurt to push last night.today streaks of blood.help?

Accepted Answer

See a surgeon.: You may have hemorrhoids that need surgical treatment. See a surgeon for evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

i am having frequent bowel movement(8-9 times in a day) and last motion with blood. and having right side abdominal pain. i have internal hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Get workup: Irritable bowel, virus if short term, other bowel diagnosis may do this.
Need full history and exams to determine.

Question 4

is there any way to be so sure if i have internal hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Texture/Doctor Exam: Most hemorrhoids (varicose veins of the anus) are soft, squishy tissue that distend after straining or having a bm, and may bleed.  If a hemorrhoid becomes firm, enlarged, and tender, it may have thrombosed (clotted).  This is treated w/ pain medication and time.  Anal lump present all the time requires medical attention to assure that it isn't something else.  See fp, gi, or surgeon!  good luck!

Question 5

is there any methods to cure "internal hemorrhoids" beside eating more fibre. i have it for like 5 months now.

Accepted Answer

Not really: If you are not having bothersome bleeding or pain,there is nothing to worry about. You want to avoid constipation and hard stools which will cause you to strain when you have a bowel movement. Fiber,fluid,exercise.

Yes: If hemorrhoid a are small, treat the constipation. Increase your fluid intake. Reduce cheese and dairy. Increase fibre, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables.

Question 7

what should i do about my grade ii internal hemorrhoids?

Regulate bowel: Keep bowel movements soft and frequent, avoid straining, take extras fiber diet all can help in avoiding worsening of hemorrhoid and possible surgical intervention.

Question 8

i am suffering from internal hemorrhoids since 7 years. but nowadays its bleeding too much. help.

Accepted Answer

Banding : True internal hemorrhoids can be treated in the office by rubber band ligation. In the office, a rubber band is placed on the base of the hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid will fall off in about a week.

Question 9

i have bleeding from apparent internal hemorrhoids. at what point should this become worrisome? or does it ever? any advice?

Accepted Answer

Check it out: You always want to check it out to make sure the diagnosis is correct. Ben at age 40, I would strongly consider having a colonoscopy. May also want to get a consultation with a colorectal surgeon for more info about hemorrhoid treatment. Ita not always surgical. Hope this helps!

Question 10

i have had several internal hemorrhoids removed and now i have to wipe excessively to get clean. sometimes an hour or two later, i wipe
again but very little. no blood, no pain no urge to go.

Accepted Answer

Pasty gooey: Hard to clean stool is usually due to a lack of fluids usually about 40 ounces short for the day. Stay away from caffeine and alcohol and increase your fluids. This should help in 3-4 days. You may also have had damage to your sphincter muscles from the surgery. This too needs to be evaluated.
