I seem to have a hemorrhoid that won't go away. sharp pain when pooping the past 2 weeks, and bloody stool. today was most blood seen. what can i do?

Rectal bleeding: This certainly could be a hemorrhoid but painful rectal bleeding is more characteristic of an anal fissure. If any trouble with constipation or straining then this needs to be treated initially. An otc product such as MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) would be a reasonable option. An otc topical medical therapy for hemorrhoids is and option too (i.e. Preparation h). If this persists however, you need to see your doctor.

Rectal bleeding: Please see your physician. This needs to be medically evaluated. T is important not to make hemorrhoids worse. Cleaning off after a bowel movement should be gentle. Pre-moistened towlettes can be used to dab the anus. Don’t wipe/rub. Pat the anus dry after cleaning. Avoid using harsh soaps that contain dyes or aromas. Cotton underwear is helpful as it absorbs moisture well. Sitz bathes can be help.
