What Causes Bleeding Through The Anus?
When I go to the toilet to move my bowels I have just had a heavy bleed from my back passage, I am certain it wasn't a period as I haven't had any in over 18 months and because I didn't get any of the usual period pains or symptoms so I decided to look online to find out what the problem could be and I have read about crohns disease and my symptoms seem to match but would like some advice on what to do

Hello,
Some advices that I can give to you are:
- Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas. Use topical treatments.
- Apply over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone.
- Use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
