Anal Bleeding

I have bleeding every time I pass stool. I've  been on a few antibiotics this past week, which has caused a lot of diarrhea, so maybe that has caused irritation on the outer ring of my anus? I've looked up anal bleeding and I don't think it's a hemorrhoid or fistula, but I'm not sure. It wont heal because every time I pass stool, it's painful, and there's blood on the toilet paper when I wipe.

Sometimes antibiotics can wipe out all the good bacteria in our gut and cause problems in our digestive tract. One of the symptoms is the diarrhea.  I suggest taking a Probiotic such as S. Boulardii or a probiotic with several different strains of healthy bacteria such as Align or Pearls. Also eating Probiotic Yogurt will add healthy bacteria too.  If the bleeding doesn't go away after you try the probiotic route, see your doctor

Hey clurr09,
Try Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Ingest up to 3 Tablespoons per day, and use
several times daily externally as a topical ointment.
It is considered "functional" food, it is antimicrobial, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal
anti-viral, anti-bacterial and an excellent internal lubricator!
See your doctor if this persists.
My advice does not constitute professional consultation.
Blessings,

As long as the blood is Bright Red and not clots or thick and dark , it is probably just irritation. I would give yourself a few days it should clear up.
