All sorts of butt troubles
I thought I had external hemorrhoids for years. On and off bleeding as well. Never any pain. Just figured wiping made them bleed. I became so used to the issue that my health took a back seat.
I finally worked up the nerve to see a specialist, as embarrassing as it was.
Discovered that my "external" hemorrhoids are actually anal skin tags and I have internal hemmohoids that I don't feel at all.
The tags have on occasion become thrombosed for about a day or two ...bruised sore feeling
Dr ordered labs and a colonoscopy
Of course now I'm petrified!
I'm 35
My labs came back as anemic so they are ordering new labs for additional anemia testing.
They also wanted to move my colonoscopy sooner
Which has me a total nervous wreck that something must be horribly wrong
