Having : Having blood in your bowel movement is concerning. Hemorrhoids typically but not always cause pain. If you are having these persistent sympotms, you should have a colonoscopy to be on the safe side. Please look into resources in your community so that you can have this performed. You can call a local GI clinic and see if they would see you or if they can refer you so that you can get this performed.

Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are a benign condition that occasionally become severe enough that surgery is needed. Many hemorrhoids can be managed by a change in diet to increase the amount of fiber. Straining with bowel movements is the chief cause of hemorrhoids.
