Mucosal / Rectal Prolapse Share The Same Symptoms As Piles / Hemorrhoids?
I'm a 32 year old male and I have had a Mucosal Prolapse for about 10 years.
A bit of history:
When I was around 22 (2004) I used to suffer from itchiness and the occasion leakage from my back passage, I put up with this for 4 years until I started noticing blood the toilet paper, this prompted a visit to the doctors who at the time was a stand in Doctor and he diagnosed me with a anal polyp.
I received a letter a few days later saying that he wanted to get it checked out by a specialist and have for me to have a colonoscopy, the colonoscopy came back all clear only for doctor to say it was a prolapse. I refused further treatment because I couldn't bear the thought of having an operation on my anus. So I managed the condition by changing my wiping technique and using wet wipes instead of dry toilet paper, this helped massively.
Fast forward four more years and in 2012 I had a normal bowl movement, and when I went to wipe there was quite a bit of blood, I headed off to the Doctors again (different Doctor), had an examination and he diagnosed a mucosal prolapse and said bleeding is part of the symptoms etc...
Over the past few years until last week, I had been managing things well, only the occasional spot of blood on the toilet paper until last Monday when I went for bowel movement and had a fair bit of bright red blood on the toilet paper along with streaks on the stool, this worried me but I put it down to my Prolapse, Tuesday was the same and then the rest of the week up to Last night were ok, last night I had had a few beers and felt the urge to go, which I did, and because I was anxious about seeing blood i had to strain to get it out, this was followed by the most blood I have had while having a prolapse, the bright red blood was dripping into the toilet and covering the paper, after about 3 - 5 minutes it stopped, and there was no blood at all, I have since had a bowl movement with no blood.
A few questions answers to questions you may ask.
My bowl movements had been normal up to the latest episode last Tuesday, then my anxiety set in...
The blood is bright red, I have had 1 occasion when the blood is on my stool.
My stools are normal looking with no visible blood inside.
I have no pain when passing a stool, only a slight stinging occasionally just inside my rectum.
I went to the Doctors last Wednesday and he felt no lumps on examination. He did acknowledge my prolapse and gave me a slip to get some anusol cream..
My Questions.
Does anyone else have the same condition?
Can alcohol make you bleed more? as last night I bled more than ever and felt a little drunk.
Does a Mucosal Prolapse share the same symptoms as piles?

I am still having stitches break thru at the top of my vagina where my cervix was removed. It hurts! I'm going to the Doctor Monday, but very scared. I have moved and this will be the first time seeing him. Do any of you know what I will have to look forward too? What might he do?
View 1 RepliesWhat To Expect? Vaginal Hysterectomy Due To Prolapse
I have just been told I need a vaginal hysterectomy later this year due to prolapse of womb, bladder and bowel. At the moment I am on a 6 month intensive course to strengthen my pelvic floor (it's non existent apparently). I am really scared about having a catheter fitted, just don't like the thought. Do you always have one fitted after the op? Also does anyone who has been through the same thing know how long I am likely to be signed off work for? I work in a school but no heavy lifting.

I just saw a Urogynecologist yesterday who says I need a total vaginal hysterectomy. Of course, I am scared! They did Urodynamics study and my bladder is OK. I originally thought when I went in that my bladder was falling. That's what my GYN at home told me. Not true according to this St. Louis doc. His name is Dr. Veronikis at Mercy hospital. Would love to hear from anyone who has info on him. I haven't scheduled the surgery yet. Still thinking, praying, researching, etc. until I decide. My prob is that my uterus is falling down and pushing out my vagina. Quite an ugly sight!! lol He will do a TVH and repair the vagina. Let me hear from anyone who has stories to tell or similar experiences.

View 19 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Piles Or Cancer?
I'll start off by saying that my father died of rectal cancer at the age of 39, and was diagnosed at the age of 32.
A couple of months ago, I found a small lump in my anus, that hurt every time I went to the bathroom(and sometimes when I sat down, if I had been constipated). Said lump is sort of blue-ish. It feels soft when I press it. I haven't had any sort of bleeding, only when I was constipated, and it was too much for my anus.
I am scared, as I don't know if it is a hemorrhoid, or cancer. I'm only sixteen, but the young age at which my father was diagnosed(Note that he was diagnosed, not that he got it at 32), worries me. My girlfriend has asked me several times to go to the doctor, as she had a look, and she described it as "not normal looking", and said it looked swollen.
I hope you will be able to give me an answer from the information provided.
Hemorrhoids :: Badly Thrombosed Piles
Have been having problems for around 5 months and sadly have not had much luck with any gp that I have seen not one has given me a digital exam and now I have badly thrombosed piles and have been forced to go to A&E for pain control including taking entonox while they are massaged by the doctor the pain to begin with was the worst I have ever felt infact I could not carry on without the gas.
I now have to wait who knows how long for a operation and hope A & E will look after me until then I am at my whits end and getting desperate.
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.

View 8 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Are Piles/fistulas Always Visible?
I've had "bloody" diarrhea for 2 years now, it comes in kind of flare ups, it first starts with normal diarrhea and then i get a lot of blood!
I had a colonoscopy last year because doctors thought i could have crohn's or ulcerative colitis but everything looked normal, not even an hemorrhoid or fistula or anything, but the thing is i wasn't having any symptoms when i had the colonoscopy done, i didn't have diarrhea or bleeding or anything!
So is it possible to have hemorrhoids that are only visible when i get the bleeding? or whatever else..
Please answer ASAP!! im very worried, i have a doc appointment in nov 25th but i've had bloody diarrhea for 2 weeks now, so if he orders another colonoscopy i will be already without diarrhea, as i know how long these diarrhea attacks last.

I had op 17 days ago and feel today like I can finally see the light! After suffering the agony, bleeding (continually wearing san towels) and life changing effects they bring you i finally decided to have the op. I have had a terrible 17 days 2 visits to docs and 2 to hospital. part of the prob was caused by managing pain relief, allergic to anti-inflammatories, Tramadol gave me a panic attack and made me vomit, been on 60mg codeine 4 X per day and have been more or less sleeping in the bath. Saw surgeon day 15 who told me the op had worked and delay in recovery was because i couldn't take anti-inflam. He offered me morphine for the terrible pain which I declined. Had 6 hours sleep longest since op (only been cat napping due to pain) so cut down on codeine all positive today. Then I went the loo and felt a lump come out like my old piles (only 1 use to have quite a few), now stressing that I have had a prolapse. The surgeon warned me I would have flaps of skin left but this feels more hard and shiny sorry to be graphic!! Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and whether it would go down again, I have never been able to push them up as some people mention.
