For six months now, I have been having irregular stools; urge to defecate, narrow stools (sometimes float), some mucus, sometimes frequently defecating (6/7 times a day sometimes more). I also have a sweaty sensation around my anus, especially when I move. I defecated blood last week for the first time. Those are my symptoms. I had a blood and stool test that showed nothing unusual. Can this be internal hemorrhoids? I have discomfort around the rectum but no pain. Thanks!

I think I have a hemmorhoid but it’s not severe. Some minor itching sometimes, and a small amount of blood of the toilet paper after bowel movements. It does hurt when going. I have increased fiber and am drinking water but what will actually CURE them? Will using ointment hide symptoms or actually get rid of it? It is too minor for any type of surgeries so I’m just wondering what are the odds of creams getting rid of it entirely?

I have also heard that a little apple vinegar can cure, is this true as well?

Recently,I got a bump on my butt…(it could have been there forever…as I really don’t know) I went to the doctor because it was itchy and they examined it,and said it was just a hemorrhoid.

Well,be for that i got so scared that i searched symptoms up…the stuff that came up scared me…even terrified me so bad I couldn’t sleep that night and was shaking all over.

Now I can’t get all those symptoms out of my head..and every little bump that appears on my body,or mark I think it is something to do with that bump on my bottom.

Even after reassurance from my mom,after bawling my eyes out to her and acting insane(lol) I still worry at night and have to check my body for more bumps or anything out of the norm.

How do I stop this,it is seriously affecting me and causing me to be depressed?
Umm..No thanks mike,if you can’t actually answer with somethng serious why waste mine or your time?

I lift weights..almost as heavy as my own body weight…and I always wear a "jock strap" I dunno if this prevents hernia or not…but i’d really appreciate it if some one tells me if its the way u lift tht cause u hernia( I do military /rocky presses and incline chest press)…aka these excersises put a lot of strain on my lower body(my own weight + weight of my dumbbells)….could this cause hernia? or hemorrhoids????wht are the symptoms?

Hi,

I have a relative who has a high ESR level (ESR > 100) with no other real symptoms. They are aged 63. They originally went to the doctor complaining of a sore throat, which whilst this has all been ongoing is now better.

The doctor has run a series of tests with the results below, all negative and non-serious. He has said himself he is not sure what is wrong, but is sure that there is a problem. He has now arranged for a pelvic ultrasound, which will take around 5 weeks to have on the NHS.

They have been tested for:

Bence Jones Protein in urine (test for Myeloma): Negative
Chect x-ray: Negative
Kidney ultasound: Negative
Colonoscopy: Diverticulitis, hamerroids (common condition in over 60s, Hemorrhoids were removed)

In addition, they had recent work on their teeth at the dentist, nothing serious, a filling and the removal of some tooth from the gum. All of which is now healing.

My questions are:

1. Has anybody else had a similar experience, and what was the cause?

2. Can Diverticulitis cause this high an ESR reading? The doctor has not mentioned that this could be the cause, but would anybody here suspect that could be the cause?

3. Would you suspect something serious, considering the doctor is prepared for us to wait the 5-6 weeks for the next test, which is the pelvis ultrasound?

4. I know that the ESR test is a non-specific test for inflamation in the body, so what could cause a high ESR level, with no other symptoms?

Thanks in advance

Tim

I do have protected sex, and I know that there is always a chance that my period is late but I am pretty sure that I was safe. I do not have any pregnancy symptoms and my period should have came and this is pretty late considering that I get it from the early 20’s of the month (25,26,27) and the latest would be low single digits like 1 or 2 of the month.

I did experience a possible hemorrhoid this month, when I would wipe after bowel movements there was very little bright blood. It lasted about two weeks.

Could it be from this that my period is late? I dont feel the need to get a pregnancy test but I am freaking out a little. Thank you.

well the past two days, its been painful to go to the toilet like a sharp pain, and there would be bright red blood on the toilet paper, i researched it and its the symptoms for both an anal fissure and hemorrhoids. Today though there’s no more blood when i go to the toilet but it is still painful during and afterwards, is whatever i have disappearing? or do i have something else?
it’s worrying me as there symptoms for colon cancer too, i’m only 15.

Okay, So my friend had sex with a condom on Jan 3rd..she had a "Period" for 2 days (Heavy flow). usually they last about 5 or 6. Then she had sex again on Jan 16, again with a condom, and she’s expecting her period this week or next week…she took a test last week and it came up negative…She say’s she’s been experiencing all the symptoms..(swollen breast, she has a bump or hemorrhoid on her butt, she claims she has a baby bump, and she feels sick most of the time….
Even though she used a condom, i think her boyfriend’s ejaculation may have been on his finger at a time, and he fingered her.
Is she Prego??
