A member asked:
I have hemroids. is it dangerous when i poop? it would be bad if i got poop in a cut, so isnt it equally bad to get poop in a bleeding hemroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not quite: The anus and tissue are used to stool and flowing matter! if an abscess develops, that is bad and can spread. The hemorrhoid is a venous structure, and full of blood, and surface sealed.
