I had this problem. I would go to the bathroom and blood would poor into the toilet like a faucet. If it is bright red blood, it is probably a hemorrhoid. Bright red blood indicates fresh blood from a wound such as a hemorrhoid.
If the blood is very dark and inside the stool not just on top of, go to the doctor right away. Dark blood indicates old blood that has been sitting in the intestines.
I went to the doctor during my problem and it was hemorrhoids. They gave me suppositories and Prep. H. You can pick up the suppositories at any drug store too.
Causes of hemorrhoids are straining too hard when making a bowel movement, and most importantly, not getting enough fiber. Get some Metamucil from the grocery store and uptake your fiber count to at least 30 grams per day. Be sure to drink extra water with the fiber so it’s easier to go to the bathroom BIG killer on the colon.
If increasing the fiber and using the suppositories for a week doesn’t help, go to the doctor. And remember, DO NOT strain. If it won’t come out, don’t force it and try again later.
Do you have any burning or itching after going to the bathroom? That’s a big indicator of hemorrhoids too, although, you don’t always have to have these symptoms.
I get hemorroids. I got them when I was in my 20s. It is caused from
several things. You can be constipated and you are straining hard.
another thing is that you can be sitting for a long period of time.
Also you may not be eating correctly. You need to be eating
fruits, and vegetables and drink plenty of water.. If you get
hemorrhoids the veins in your anus get enlarged . When you cannot
to the bathroom and strain that is what makes you bleed. If this
continues go see your dr.It is possible for someone your age to get
them.
Hemorrhoids can develop at any age. The most common cause of hemorrhoids is constipation, but there are many other causes like genetic predisposition to weak veins (if others in your family have hemorrhoids), extended periods of sitting or standing that is causing pressure at the rectal area, acid/alkaline imbalance – when natural body pH is disrupted due to wrong diet caused by too much acid forming foods (like meat, all soda drinks, coffee etc). Also some diseases – liver fatigue, Irritable bowel syndrome can cause hemorrhoids. Sometimes more than one cause is present in the body. A proper treatment is to treat the hemorrhoids and also treat the cause of it, otherwise hemorrhoids develop again.
