help bleeding

[4708cad]

I had a hemorrhoid before but never bleeding .
Im not sure if this is a hemorrhoid .
I felt constipated for past week .
today I had bowel movement and felt like hemorrhoid or bump at opening .
when I looked at toilet it had blood in the water bright red.
bm had small amount of blood coating .
when I wiped , toilet paper had blood .
well im panicking .  later today I had another bowel movement
and  no blood in water and no blood on toilet paper
but still small amount of blood coating bm . and bright red .
can this be hamorrhoid ?  or something else much more serious
Please help .  I feel it could be colon cancer or internal damage ??

Hey!
Well, you sure don't sound like the typical hemorrhoid case, as far as I know...but there are unfortunately always a few exceptions where it's not that obvious where they come from. I would go to the doctor anyway. Just to be sure that it's all good. For me personally it did not always bleed. It often stopped for a while and then came back. I would say get it checked out, if only for peace of mind... I wish you that it was just a bad constipation! If it was the hemorrhoids watch out what exercises you do. I heard weight lifting and cycling can make it worse.

Hi!
I know how scary it can be if something is wrong with your body and you don't know what's going on. You don't write anything about yourself, such as your age or lifestyle which could help to give more advise. In any case you should see a proctologist. As far as I know are hemorrhoids much more common than colon cancer and your symptoms sound pretty much like mine that I had with my hemorrhoids. But only a doctor can really take this off your shoulders. No panic: Stay calm , make an appointment and get yourself some hemorrhoid cream at the pharmacy. Just give it a try. If it's hemorrhoids have a read in the forum. There is great advice here. If nothing helps or you just wanna get rid of them ask your doctor if the thd method is a solution for you. That's what I had done...
Best of luck! It's gonna be alright!
