A member asked:

I was diagnosed with crohns last week and also have hemorrhoids inside my anus but this week they started bleeding what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perianal Crohn's?: Crohn's disease can manifest anywhere along the entire length of the GI tract, including in the rectum and perianal area. Don't assume your bleeding is due to hemorrhoids--get checked immediately to address a possible Crohn's flare.
