Hello. My name is Mel & I am 20 years old.
Hemmorrhoids run in my family & I have had them since I was like 15 or so. It was not so problematic right about quite recently.
Usually, only when I had hard stool I would have really little bleeding on the toilet paper. Nowadays, I have way more constepation & can't seem to poop fully & satisfactorily, and always have more blood. Need I to say, it's not a lot of blood, like a period or something, but it is more than it used to be.
(BTW i am using both off the counter and prescribed ointments)
It seems as though that the stool gets to the rectum area & then it sends a sharp pain, feeling like it's being cut or ripped, and then there is bleeding.
I would also like to mention that it only happens during bowel movements & not urine or anything else.
I am worried. Could it be something dangerous like in the colon or stomach? I am suffering from bad (treated ) anxiety and hypochondria.. please answer. Thanks. xo
