A member asked:

Had an external hemarrhoid that burst this morning. i'm pain free but it's still bleeding a bit. what can i do to stop it? no health insurance :(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any blood disorders: U know of or do u take any nsaids? They can tend to prolong the bleeding. Most of the times the bleeding stops on its own. Cont to take warm soaks in a bath tub and apply a gauze dressing on top of it. It should stop. If it doesnt seem to be slowing down then i would recommend going to er to rule out any other pathology assoc with it.
