A member asked:
Past couple days having maroon blood in stool and toilet today same thing but passed a blood clot could this be hemorrhoids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Hemorrhoids usually cause bright red painless blood and not clots. Maroon blood suggests bleeding somewhere higher in the GI track. It is also something that needs to be checked, this is especially true in someone on Motrin as yourself. If you have any symptoms of lightheadedness or weakness you should go to an UC or ER. Otherwise, call you PCP or GI doctor for an appointment.

A member asked:
Is there any effective way to treat a bleeding internal hemorrhoid if it can't be banded due to its location and a prior surgery? What would happen if I leave it untreated and let it pass small blood clots everyday. Can it eventually heal on its own?
