Does anyone have never ending bleeding from anus?

My husband has had 3 colonoscopys due to bleeding.  They have always found 2 or more polyps and remove them.  However he still bleeds.  Dr said it was the hemorrhoids.  So, family doctor tells him he is very anemic and sends him for another colonoscopy.  Round and round we go.  If it's the hemmoroids (sp) bleeding why can't they remove them?  Getting quite concerned.  Anybody have answers for this?  thanks

Hemorrhoids (which IS hard to spell!) are a big pain. My husband has them too and I had them when pregnant.  They aren't usually surgically removed. They try to do things to shrink them.  Preperation H, the tried and true remedy.  And he can leave a tucks cloth in his underwear to sooth and heal too.  Witch hazel supposedly helps.  He can try warm Epsom salt baths and diet changes such as an increase in fiber help.  good luck
