My 10 year old and bleeding when he has a BM

by jsae, Oct 08, 2007 06:31PM
I was just wondering if 10 years of age is to young for a child to have hemroids? My son for the last week and a half has been having bleeding when he has a bowel movement. He says it is dripping. I asked him some obvious questions about hemroids- symptoms and he said he really had none. I was thinking that maybe he does have hemroids. He seems to get a lot of stomach aches especially after he eats and he said he tends to go to the bathroom pretty much regularly.

Any advice would be helpful.

children can get hemorrhoids so it definitely could be just that.

but to be on the safe side you should probably take him in to see a doctor because lots of other things can cause bleeding from the rectum.  

good luck and hope all's well.
