Iron Deficiency Anaemia - Uterine Polyps And Heavy Bleeding

I have recently become anaemic, I suffer from uterine polyps that have been 'quiet' for about 6 years ever since menopause, however about a week ago I started bleeding heavily, the past couple of days I am so tired, wobbly on my feet and look as white as a sheet, also heartrate is up a bit, anyone out there who has experienced the same or similar? and what happened regarding treatment were you put on iron tablets etc? I know I have to see the doc and will be ringing her tomorrow but am sitting in bed fretting about it.

Iron Deficiency Anaemia - Symptoms / Causes Of Anaemia

I have recently been diagnosed with fairly mild iron deficiency anaemia, which was picked up incidentally prior to an unrelated issue, and I was told it is a type that usually stems from bleeding. I was advised to speak to my GP about treating this, and on doing so he first asked me if I'd had any worrying symptoms, well I haven't noticed any obvious blood spurting from anywhere, or any blood in my bowel movements/vomit, so I said no. He then seemed to put it down to periods. I don't really have periods, and when I do they are pathetically light, so I don't think its that, but he didn't seem concerned. I am now on a 1 month course of ferrous sulphate and need to have more bloods after that to see if it's sorted it, but I am just worried about what caused it in the first place. I don't think my diet is particularly bad, so where on earth am I bleeding from!! My GP doesn't seem concerned, so I'm guessing I shouldn't be either, but just wondering what other people's experiences are of the causes of their anaemia?

Hemorrhoids :: Minor Bleeding At BM

I am a 31 year old male. I have had some minor bleeding at bm's. After some time and research on the internet I became concerned and went to see my doctor. My doctor did a quick check up and took a medical history. My med history is clear including family members. No cancer or anything major. Furthering the exam my doctor did a visual exam of my anus and a digital rectal exam as well. She diagnosed me with having hemorrhoids. How long does the bleeding last before it is a concern? I have had diarrhea for the past 5 days and bleeding as well after bm's. Today however I had a normal bm good size and shape, no blood, then this afternoon it was almost diarrhea again with some more blood after the bm was complete. It is just concerning even after the dr telling me I had hemorrhoids.

Hemorrhoids :: Bleeding External Piles

I am a 19 year old male that got my first serious hemorrhoid around a month ago, there was slight bleeding when using the toilet however apart from that with ointment and care the pain subsided.

However three days ago the pain returned as bad as it was last time, yesterday I began bleeding heavily (leaving one pair of underwear ruined) and subsequently I went to my local hospital who said I should see a consultant this morning.

I did that, and he was useless, however confirming it was an external hemorrhoid that had ruptured. I have been booked for a camera in 8 weeks time and his only advice was to change everything about my lifestyle (time to give up all indulgences yay).

It has not stopped bleeding, and even walking from my local supermarket left me having to wash my anus as well as changing my underwear again.

My question is, how long will it take for the bleeding to stop, and is there anything I can do to help stop the bleeding as in my current state I don't want to leave my bed let alone face the prospect of work. I live in the UK so luckily healthcare is free, however I am open to home remedies as well.

Hemorrhoids :: Rupture Causing Bleeding

Went to a VA Medical Center to get checked. Doctor just told me that a Hemorrhoid may have ruptured causing bleeding. Everytime I wipe there is bright blood. I first just had the Hemorrhoid protrusion, then I moved a certain way and felt a release. Thought I had messed my pants but upon examination there was a lot of blood and the bump/hemorrhoid seemed to me much smaller. Well it seems to have filled back up, not quite as big as before but I keep bleeding. When I go to the bathroom the toilet water turns red. The doctor never examined the area. Just told me to continue to use Prep H or similar cream and she scheduled a Colonoscopy. Not sure how long that will take. Should I go to a different doctor and ask them what to do about the bleeding? Considerable blood when wiping or using the bathroom but dries up as the day goes until I use the bathroom again. But there is always blood on tissue I place in my pants.

Hemorrhoids :: Chronic Rectal Bleeding

I am a 23 year old male.

I've been having periodic rectal bleeding for some time now, and I haven't gone to a doctor because I can't muster the courage to do so (I'm just too ashamed to present this problem to my doctor and family), and the amount of blood is small enough for me to be calm about it and my overall health is good.

So I decided to ask a question here before I go to a MD. Also, I informed myself on this issue from various sources on the Internet.

I first experienced rectal bleeding back in the summer of 2013. I was shocked initially, but then I regained my calmness, and on the next day there was no blood in my stool. Then I had another bloody stool a month after that, then it went away after 2-3 days.

So for 2 years, the rectal bleeding is periodically appearing then fading away. Each time the rectal bleeding occurs a few seconds after I pass the stool. So when I pass the stool, the feces are perfectly normal, not mixed in with blood or looking tarry. The way I understand it, that when I pass the stool, it somehow manages to hurt my anal area and causes a small wound, which explains why several drops of blood fall on the toilet several seconds after the stool passes and goes into the toilet bowl.

After doing some research online, I (in my humble opinion) suspect that I have hemorrhoids. Each time I experience rectal bleeding, it's only a small amount. 2-4 drops of blood, rarely more, unless in cases when I pass a hard stool. Sometimes I experience minor anal pain, which fades away in a few hours.

I don't match the symptoms of colon cancer, and if you leave out the rectal bleeding, my health is great. So it was something serious, I'd be in real trouble by now, right?

So right now, I have normal stools for 1-2 weeks, then I have one bloody stool for 1-2 days, then again followed by 1-2 weeks of normal stools. It's been like this for nearly one year out of the 2 years.

Also, I am an athlete, and I already eat a green vegetable with almost every meal - a cucumber, a piece of lettuce, cabbage, etc.

What can you tell me based on what I've told you? Have I took a serious risk to my health by ignoring this issue for so long?

Also, I am thinking of finally going to my doctor, but I wanted to ask online first. What should I expect of my doctors visit? What kinds of questions? What kinds of exams? Treatment options?

I understand that what I'm doing is really foolish, but the shame of going to the doctor and explaining this issue to my family greatly outweighs the fear I have of this issue. I hope you understand.

Hemorrhoids :: No Bleeding But Pain On Touching

I'm quite young (23) and for a few years I've been experiencing hemorrhoids more and more frequently. I don't remember not having one in the last year : a new one always seems to replace another at a different place. For now the inconvenience is limited : there is no bleeding and I feel pain when I touch them, nevertheless my recent hemorrhoids are really between the interior and the exterior, which makes them shuttle a bit and create a smell sometimes, particularly noticeable after sweating. 

SOLVING ATTEMPTS AND DISCUSSION

To keep it short, I've decided to greatly diminish my straining and my wiping for the last three months, which were both out of the norm in my opinion. Surprisingly, it was quite the opposite of an improvement, but I plan to keep those habits and to add more vegetables to my diet (which is fine on other regards). Besides, I'm a rarely constipated person and I believe my stool is a bit softer than average.

If I had to guess what are the causes of my problems, I'd say :

-the stress is causing me to contract (tighten)myself you know where all day long, or even the night.

-keeping the stool inside instead of pushing might not be a good idea and might cause more harm than good.

-inadequate (not in length or strength but in the manner) pushing. -too much leg-crossing or other bad positions.

-bowel movement at fix hour every day, instead of waiting for the opportunity (which I find to be quite hard).

Could anyone help me with this situation ? I'm afraid to endure a life of increasing pain. A doctor's advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
