Hemorrhoids :: Fresh And Bright Blood In Stools - Piles?
I am posting this because I suspect that I have piles. It all started with minor constipation and with in 2 days it got severe (when I say constipation I mean hardness to pass stool). However, I still go to the loo daily. Anyway, long story short, I have been having severe bleeding, pain and constipation for over a month now. Without having a break. I suspect its piles because it runs all along my dad's family. But I am starting to fear this as it hasn't gone away yet. Is this normal? The blood is fresh and bright. However the pain at the bottom is unbearable. I am already taking enough amount of insoluble fibre, drinking plenty of water, and always had gone to the gym on daily basis. Could anyone throw light on this scenario and tell me if this is normal? I am thinking about going to GP but my work doesn't provide me the chance to do so.

View 4 RepliesHemorrhoids :: PPH Stapled Haemorrhoidopexy 5 Days - Blood In Stools
i had the op 5 days ago, has been 5 horrible horrible days. Lots of very bad pain, etc.
now I have had traces of blood in all my stools. And have kept myself regular with movicol. But today, I had to 'push' ever so slightly nothing major, I couldn't stop it. Wasn't a major push ,etc and out popped a tiny more condensed poop.
its about 4 hours later, and was back on the pot, and was feeling like I needed to go, it felt watery again, and it was again a small bit. But this time a lot of blood. Before there were just streaks but this time it's was just blood instead of the mucous fluid with traces in.
is this normal, ? Due to the earlier little push. I was shocked as it's the most blood I have passed. Should I gear up for more of this and not be worried.
i have stopped the codeine yesterday and just on a ibuprofen . I'm in less pain which is good, but worried I might have torn staple or stitches etc hence more blood and less pain.
i'm waiting for my next bm , but have hardly eaten since the opp, today was a small bowl of all bran this am, I have dropped about 7lbs since opp. I'm going to eat a decent slab of salmon tonight, but worried with the consequences.
Birth Control :: Periods - Dark Almost Black Blood And Heavy Clots
My daughter has the Nexplanon implant. She has been on her period for 3 months now. She also said that she is bleeding heavy and it is a dark almost black blood. She also is passing heavy clots. Is this normal?
View 1 RepliesMenstrual Cycle :: Dark Brown Almost Black Blood And Clots - Normal?
I have had normal regular periods for almost ten years. Every month I will be on for around five days, bleeding normally with normal red blood. I have been on the pill on and off for about 4 years. Once I stop the pill for my seven day break, I usually come on two days after.
The past couple of months it has taken me about four days to come on and when I do I am not really bleeding, I am only really bleeding as I actually go to the toilet and when I do it is thick dark brown clots. I am not leaking normal blood if that makes sense?
Is this normal or should I have it checked out?

View 9 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Sore Bottom And Blood On Wipe - Piles?
Since the beginning of July I have been suffering with what I was to believe were piles very sore bottom and sometimes small amounts of blood on wiping, after about a month I went to the docs and saw a nurse prescriber who never did a dre but said I had a yeast infection as had recently finished a course of antibiotics. About a week later they were no better and I thought I might have an anal fissure as it was so painful having a Bm so went back to the doc who did a dre and treated me with rectogesic until I was due to see the gastro doc as I had had a flex sig a year ago and was due a follow up, although weird stuff it seemed to help. 3 days later I saw the gastro guy and he looked with a anal scope and said he could feel 2 hems and to stop taking rectogesic, I then got better for 2-3 weeks and then seemingly had a relapse after being constipated and was straining. So I've used the piles cream had no blood symptoms but can feel 2 little spots just inside rectum and one slightly bigger one further up by the sphincter. The two are pimple sized and the other is pea shaped all are quite hardy sore to touch! I have absolutely no idea what they are or what to do next but they are much sorer after a Bm?? Been to doctors 5 times now with no real solution...
View 1 RepliesThreadworms? Black Strings In My Stools - Worms
For several months I have been experiencing digestive problems such as excessive burping, trapped wind, constipation, reflux and a lot of undigested food in my stools, even though I have stopped eating gluten, dairy, seeds and nuts. I have also recently been diagnosed with iron deficiency and have also been experiencing sinus congestion, excessive mucus in my throat and anxiety. On the advice of a naturopath over the last few days I have been taking magnesium-oxide as a colon cleanse of sorts. Today in my stools and on the toilet paper I noticed quite a few black string looking things, they were quite thin like a piece of thread and were not moving. The smallest were 0.5 cm and one or two were maybe 1.5 cm. Am I right in thinking these must be some sort worm? Could they be thread worms even though they're black and I have no itching? Any suggestions? Would it be inappropriate to take some into my doctor to what they are? I travelled to South America last year so I guess I could have picked something up there.

View 2 RepliesBowel Disorders :: Dark Brown And Black Stool
I recently broke up with my girlfriend and had a few days of pretty heavy drinking, 12+ beers throughout the day and night each day. I have always been somewhat of a heavy drinker and shortly after those 3 rough days of being down and in a dark place, I started to notice my stool was very dark brown or on the verge of black. It doesn't stink though. I read up on reasons why this would happen and the bleeding obviously scared me because of the drinking. Although I also had been taking some Chlorella supplements that contain iron off and on but they never gave me this color stool before. Sometimes green. Along with some Pepto Bismol the day before but only 2 doses, which is another cause. Some purple flavored sports drinks and even prune juice. So all of this can add up to the dark colored stool from what I read but I am still very worried. My stomach has been uneasy and makes me feel like I don't want to eat anything. Not sure if it's an upset stomach or still from the hangover. I'm into day 2 now, and it is still there and unsure when it should go away if it was from something other than bleeding? It doesn't seem to be dark black like tar or stink so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am 27 and have always been very healthy other than my drinking habit which I am obviously going to drop because this has scared the poop out of me
Its Friday now and have dropped all the supplements and juices to see if it goes away. Just not sure how long it would take to go back to normal since I took multiple things that could cause it. I guess otherwise I will be calling the doctor on Monday.

View 1 RepliesMenstruation :: Yasmin - Flow Was Dark Brown/Black In Colour
So my period ended 4 days ago. The blood flow was really different in that it was Dark Brown/Black in colour for the whole period. After the last day of my menstrual bleed, I have been experiencing hard stool which would push me to force a little harder to push my stool out. In doing so, (meaning pushing a bit harder to poo) I would see a flow of bright red blood running out like urine (which does not contain any clots). This has been happening for the past 4 days after my regular period ended. Is this normal or should I be alarmed? P.S. I recently started using oral contraception (Yasmin) last month

Go to the URL above if the picture doesn't work to see my toe.
If anyone could help answer what this is, it would mean the world. I'm really worried and I'm not sure what it is...if it is cancer, a bruise or a fungal infection, etc.....there are so many possibilities and I'd really love an answer! It doesn't hurt if I press on it, but I am still worried.
BTW I did go on a camp where I hiked for hours and hours and my toes (not just my big toe) hurt when I pressed on them for a couple days after but it went away quickly - this was a few months ago. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with what has happened but yeah...
So - if anyone could give me a name of what I have and how I can treat it, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks again!
Irritable Bowel Syndrome :: Black And Dark Purple Bits In Stool?
So it all started roughly 4 weeks ago where suddenly one day I was getting really bad stomach cramps, bloating, a lot of gas especially after eating (my stomach would literally rumble all the time, eating or not eating), had very little appetite. Went to the doctors a few days later and they said I had a stomach infection, I wasn't having diarrhea or vomiting at the time.
I started to worry a lot during the next week or so as I suffer from pretty bad anxiety and the symptoms weren't changing at all. I lost about a stone of weight in a week and a half which I assume was down to not eating (I could only manage a few bananas a day)
About a week later my stomach cramps seemed to stop and a pain developed just under my right set of ribs, which seemed to get worse and worse as the days went by. I started to get really loose BMs of a weird green dark orange colour which seemed to reduce the pain and would find myself going 3+ times a day and not feel empty after the first. I find myself needing to urinate a lot more frequently too, maybe cause I'm drinking a load of water?
In my stools are these weird black dry bits of varying length (they were purple today but I'm not sure if that was kidney beans I ate last night) They are dry and kinda look like the bits of popcorn shell that come off the corns before you put them in the microwave, but not as hard if that makes sense?
I went to the doctors a few more times and got shrugged off saying it was all down to my anxiety which was causing the issues?
Finally I got to see a good doctor who gave me a blood test which came back with nothing and said I had IBS which was developed as a post-infection mixed with my anxiety levels. I kept asking if any other tests were required and he kept saying there is no point.
Now I usually have a constant pain under my right ribcage, which comes and goes through the day, usually worse after eating, sometimes under my left ribcage is a feint pain too and sometimes it'll rise into upper abdomen.
So what the hell is going on here? Sorry for the massive essay. I'm just really worried about these black bits in my stool, are they blood?!
Bowel Disorders :: Stool Dark/black And Smells Like Rotten Eggs
I had irregular bowel movements for months and i finally became regular the last two weeks but something is terribly wrong because my stool is dark/black and smells like rotten eggs every time, my nutrition is in check because i am a bodybuilder and i consume 30-35 grams of fiber every day and eat all the micro nutrients I need, my macro nutrients are roughly 80 grams of fat and 180 grams of protein and rest of the calories are carbs ( i eat around 3000 calories every day.
Note: I was eating the right amounts of nutrients even while constipated.
is there any health issue i could be facing?
BTW I am 18 years old.
Sexual Health - Women :: Bleeding With Dark (black Even) Stringy Pieces In It
my period hasn't been regular but I've been on the depo shot for about 3 years (I'm not sure if theres correlation). I won't have any blood but after sex there is a little bit of blood, we took a break for a while and there wasn't any spotting or anything but I had sex last night and today there was quite a bit of blood.
it was stretchy, had no odor, but had dark (black even) stringy pieces in it. I'm not sure if I'm feeling any serious pain in my ovaries but I'm really worried about what it could be. The blood is usually stretchy but has never had the stringy black pieces.
