Posted on Wed, 9 Mar 2016
Question: Yes, when i have a bowel movement my butt hole has a sharp pain that is unbearable. Then it becomes just raw around it and bleeds. I cant even hardly sit down. I put perioxide on it and that helps after about an hour. Then put some oinment on it. Usually over night it feels better in morning but its same thing next day. Been going on for about 2 weeks.

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

From what you describe it sounds like you have hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can cause painful bowel movements as well as bleeding. They typically can also wax and wane from time to time with fluctuation of symptoms.

I can suggest a couple of things for you to try prior to seeing your primary care doctor.first it would be reasonable for you to try warm soaks in a bathtub for 15 to 20 minutes a couple of times per day. This can help to soothe the affected area.

You can also purchase over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream such as PreparationH or Anusol and apply this to the affected area after each bowel movement or 4 to 5 times daily. the soaks and the cream can slowly help decrease the swelling and irritation associated with the hemorrhoids.

if your symptoms fail to improve after a week or two or if things get worse then I would suggest that you see your primary care physician for a consultation and examination for further recommendations.

Thanks again for sending your query.

Sincerely,

Dr Galamaga
