How much blood loss is normal with a hemorrhoid?

Dr. Randy Stevens answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Less than a cup: Hemorrhoids are abnormal. Once you do have them expect less than a cup of blood loss. If it is more see your doctor. If you experience light headedness dizzy etc call your doctor.
