A member asked:
What kind of exam would a doctor do to diagnose anal bleeding? would it hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Digital and anoscopy: In an 18 y/o, the likely cause of bleeding is either a fissure or hemorrhoids. Performing a digital exam or anoscopy, while uncomfortable, is not painful if this is hemorrhoidal bleeding while the same exam performed on a patient with an active fissure can be painful. Having said this, a fissure can be diagnosed by history and a simple good look with minimal discomfort.
