Suggest Treatment For Severe Anal Bleeding

I have severe bleeding from my anus sphincter. Its not internal. It happens when I sit on the toilet and relax. I start squirting huge amounts of blood like a hose. If I push (which im told not to) then it some how stops the bleeding. Sitting relaxed is how it starts. I don't think its a haemorrhoid as their is no lump. I got a mirror it looks like a tiny tube just up inside the rim covered with skin that releases when I relax. There is no pain just lots of blood.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your symptoms, You have Bleeding from the anus or rectal bleeding . Which is a very common symptom. Up to 15% of adults have seen blood on their toilet paper.
As a general rule, bright red blood means that the bleeding has come from the area around the anus. If the blood is darker, it usually means that its origin is a bleed higher up the digestive tract.
Bleeding can be due to following reasons
1. Hemorrhoids( piles) is most common reason. They are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus.
2.Anal fissures- a tear sometimes caused due to hard stool passage
3. Rarely it might be symptom of colon cancer

People who eat foods low in fiber are prone to constipation and also to Fistulas & hemorrhoid symptoms

Patients with a history of bleeding should undergo sigmoidoscopy to rule out the presence of a tumor
Take more fibrous foods like raw vegetables and fruits specially citrus fruits.
Don't make more force during defecation. Laxative intake will be helpful if constipation is there
If problem persists, you should visit a Gastroenterologist

Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved.
