Bleeding?

Has anyone with C ever experienced bleeding in your stool and rectum? bright red blood on the toilet paper and stool? I just called my doc and have an apt tomorrow. i have never had hemmeroids before so that might be it, but blood freaked me out so i called. Has anyone ever had this? Please ease my mind.

Yes I have...only when I was C though!!

I asked my doctor about it and she said it's probably bleeding because I was straining so much to try and poop!! This caused tiny tears that started to bleed.

Let us know how your doc's appointment goes!!

Yes I had this also. It turned out to be internal hemmoroids.

I hope everything turns out ok.

I too suffer from C and often will have bleeding that goes along with it. Last time it was due to a hemmoroid that split while I was trying to go to the bathroom. It does go away though...thank god for that!! Hope ur appointment goes well, I am curious as to what ur doc says. Let us know how it goes!

I had very little bleeding that turned out to be internal hemmoroids. I was very scared also. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please keep us posted.

I have had bleeding before...at the risk of being gross I totally changed the color of the water in the bowl. I was tearing in the "canal" just before the "exit". I was told to use Millers Bran (which gives me no trouble) to soften things up a bit and give the lesion time to heal. I haven't had that porblem in years. Best of luck.

i tore my skin a little when pushing out and tons of blood came out...so many little vessels back there, but i had it checked out right away....better to be safe than sorry

Well you girls were all right, internal hemmoroids. He gave me some sort of suppository and said I would be "A ok" in a few days. But he suggested I get a colonoscopy done on May 13th just to rule out every other problem out there.
But at least I know its not something that is terrible. Thanks for all of your support

hey, i didn't mean to offend. seriously, i've had that before and it lasted on and off for like, 3 months. i was so scared because i didn't know what it was, but i went to the doc and they said internal hem's. anyway, since everyone else said what it was i didn't think there'd be any harm in a little (bad) joke. because honestly, that WAS the worst, you go through all this effort until you're bleeding and you STILL can't go. it's awful. i hope you feel better soon.

oh, little tip: witch hazel helps A LOT. if you put it on a cotton and have it on your... bum..... it really helps.

I took it as a joke its ok
I have no pain at all, thats what scared me. It was like I was bleeding for no reason. I am going to try the suppositories and he did mention to try Tucks medicated pads (which i think are medicated with witch hazel!)

Thanks again

yeah, i think Tuck's is nothing but witch hazel! so if you buy a bag of cotton balls and a bottle of witch hazel it's a lot cheaper and same effect.

by the way, i don't know if you get this, but i got REALLY bad itches.... not constant, but just when trying to go... if you get that, that's especially where the WH comes in really handy.

totally! oh god, just be glad you didn't make THIS mistake:

when i first noticed the aforementioned problem, i went on the internet to try to find out what it might be... and by the end of my search i was convinced i had pinworms! i was sooooo freaked out. needless to say i was thrilled to discover it was only hem.s!
