Hi. Great site here. Very helpful. I know self diagnosis is not recommended and is usually wrong. However, in this case, I think I may be right.
I'm a 25 yro male weighing at 90 kgs. I weighed just over 100 kgs about a year ago which is when I first noticed blood when wiping after a stool. Actually no; come to think of it.....I had an external hemorrhoid when I was 18. I am absolutely sure of this. But there was no blood and I often strain to quickly dispose of stools. The first sign of blood was last year and I thought I had torn my anus a little. Since then, I have suffered on and off with painful bowel movement and external hemorrhoids. I can't be 100% but I believe I also have internal hemorrhoids.
Over the past few weeks, there has been a considerable amount of bright red blood in the WC and when wiping. Occasionally there are clots when wiping. Less than an hour ago, there was more clotting than I have experienced before. I am guessing this is a prolapsed hemorrhoid. I have been hoping this problem will go away. Will it?
PS - I work from home and sit quite alot but i sit on a very comfortable reclining couch. I spend as little time on the wc as possible. I do have a high meat diet and don't eat much veg. I do not exercise regularly. And I am married with kids...so no anal sex before.
Hi I have been a Hemorrhiods suffer for at least 10 years and for the past 10 months they have been very bad, to the point where I haven't been able to leave the house. I tried all the usual routes of creams and suppositries, then many visits to the hospital including painful treatments with no long term success. I was at my wits end and very depressed but then I had a brain wave and went to visit a homeopath. Although it can be embarrassing to talk to a stranger about it believe me I was past caring. We went through medical history as well as personal history and she gave me a remedy that seriously changed my life. This may not be for everyone but I promise you it is well worth a go. I have a prolpased hemorroid and internal ones too, my prolapsed one has now shrunk and my internal ones are undercontrol, no more blood and no more pain when going to the toilet. It's not to say they will never come back but I visit my homeopath once a month so we keep on top of it and now my life has returned to normal, best of all no more creams etc.
