Hemorrhoids, which can be classified as external and/or internal, are a very common medical condition and there are several ways of treating them. It is important to keep your stool as soft as...
I have a bump on my anus near the anal opening, it doesn't give me much pain or anything to tell me that it's there, but when i try to use the bathroom it blows up into a little greyish ball and pretty much blocks the opening, I was wondering if this is a Hemorrhoid
MD It is most likely an external haemorrhoid which swells up with blood during straining for defecation. Have you had any bleeding in form of drops of blood after passing stools or stools lined with a streak of red blood? This along with pain could point towards a fissure in ano and the lump could...
Hello i have a like a bump beside my anus i dont think is hemorrhoid i have been drinking ''feiyan tea'' witch helps you loose weight, so i go about 3 times a day to a toilet for #2 and the bump is red and when ever i go to toilet it hurts alot, i was wondering what could that be?
MD Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it is a boil, or an abscess, due to bacterial infection,it need to bi incised and drained, and dressed with a cotton plug inside periodically for few days.
It may not be related to the feiyan tea, or weight reduction.
If it is left...
my name is sirisha.., I have 5 months baby..from the last 3 months, suffering with hemorrhoids problem, I never experienced this before pregnancy. baby was born through cesarean...my doubt is whether this cesarean did affect my internal organs..please tell me the exact reason for my problem
MD Hi, caesarian as you said will usually not cause such problems. Haemorroids are actually cushion defects in the anal canal, which could be because of many reasons. Chronic constipation, not passing stools everyday, low fiber diet and many other reasons. They could be thrombosed piles too. I would...

MD Hi there,
There is no pill that can cure hemorrhoids, but the most effective treatment is to make sure that you aren't straining when you have bowel movements. I see a lot of patients in my clinic for hemorrhoids, and very rarely due I recommend operations to remove them. I tell all of my...

MD Hello!

The most common reason of the fresh blood in stool are hemorrhoids. Such blood is bright red and usually on the surface of the stool. Sometimes pain or itching in the rectum appears. It rather has nothing in common with fried chicken however it is associated with...
I have hemorrhoids. I had rectal bleeding for a week. Improved my diet. Bleeding has completely stopped. Now I feel the urge to go but I cannot push the stool out. Is it possible this is caused by the hemorrhoids? Any suggestions other than medical intervention? I also would like to avoid a colonoscopy.
MD Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Constipation and hemorrhoids are interrelated. In most cases, constipation appears first and when it lasts for a long time, it may cause hemorrhoids. And so is steady lifestyle, low fiber diet, fatty foods. But the main problem is, that same causes and same...
I get hemorrhoids fairly frequently. I eat a pretty healthy diet with a good amount of fiber and just about all natural foods. However, I have noticed that the hemorrhoids tend to show up the day after I have red meat (maybe once every 7-10 days). Is there a correlation?
MD Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* There is definite concern of red meat consumption with hemorrhoids
via body`s response to hot spices via hyper congestion of the
certain mucosa .
Hope this will help you for sure .
Wishing you fine recovery...
I believe I am suffering from some XXXXXXX hemorrhoids issues, I wanted to get some advice. I am a 38 year old women. When I became pregnant with my first child, constipation and hemorrhoids were my worst pregnancy issues. I had some issues with hemorrhoids before getting pregnant-rarely- both XXXXXXX (2x) and external. XXXXXXX hemorrhoids symptoms included bright red blood in the toilet and some bright red blood on the tissue paper. I was given a digital exam by my obgyn who did not order any further testing. She is currently aware of the situation I am describing here. After giving birth to my son, my external hemorrhoids were extremely aggravated but went away with time, however, the constipation and XXXXXXX hemorrhoids have persisted. It has been roughly five months. The constipation and XXXXXXX hemorrhoids started to go away but came back when I became extremely stressed and overwhelmed. Lately I have become concerned that the hemorrhoids are a sign of a more serious problem. I am wondering how concerned I should be?
MD Hello and thanks for the query.
You should definitely be concerned about it as it is not going to go of it's own and you have to take some measures to cure it because if left untreated,it will keep on causing problem to you.
Hemorrhoids are relatively common during pregnancy and the postpartum...

So much that the entire toilet water was red and the toilet paper was covered in blood.

MD I have a hemorrhoid and I looked up how to treat it. The websites talked about procedures and what not, but I also found one that offered natural remedies. This website instructed me to avoid spicy foods, oily foods, junk foods and fast foods. Also, it said not to drink alcohol, tea, coffee or smoke. Now, I have two questions: Are these going to help my hemorrhoid go away? When it says to avoid smoking, is it talking about cigarettes, marijuana, or both?
MD There is a small amount of blood on the tissue after I wipe after a bowel movement. I also itch and sometimes am sore. I was thinking it was a hemorrhoid and have been using preparation H but it only gives temporary relief and the itch and pain comes back. I m also having irregular bowel movements. I wouldn t say that it s diarrhea but its not solid stool either. Often times after I finish with my bowel movement I still feel like I have to go and get an ache in my stomach. I m not sure if these are all related or separate.
