Suggest Treatment For Internal Hemorrhoids And Dizziness

My dad is 81 years old, he had colon cancer ten years ago and prostate cancer three years ago. The colon cancer was treated with surgery and chemo. The prostate was treated with radiation. He did well both times. His last colonoscopy was fine with no polyps. He is now bleeding again from his rectum. The bleeding is daily. He knows he has internal hemorrhoids and thinks this is the problem. Today he was coming up the stairs and he became disoriented, dizzy and couldn t feel his feet. We ran and got him in the chair. He could talk, I couldn t see any sweating, his face was flushed and he drank a glass of water. He sees the doctor next month. What should I expect?

Hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your query in depth .

@ This is due to anemia following blood loss .
@ Guidelines for better recovery
$ Give him plenty of liquids
$ Soft light diet with high fiber content to get smooth bowel
movements ( hard bowel movements will increase the bleeding )
$ Avoid oily , non veg , spicy stuffs
$ Keep his BP under control
$ If possible kindly get hemoglobin , fasting blood sugar report done
$ Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water for 10 minute
each 2 -3 times / day and after passing stool )
$ Local application of Xylocaine ( 5% ) jelly gives soothing action
$ If bleeding persist , immediately consult ER without delay

Hope this will help you definitely .
Feel free to ask any future health related query anytime .
