Well I had managed to put this lumpy pile thing to the back of my mind, until yesterday! It was hurting me and I needed the loo but I held it all I could as i was at work! then I HAD to go and when i did i pushed really fast! and only a bit came out! then when to the cinema and went again when i got home, I didnt strain but when I wiped there was blood on the tissue :( bright red blood! Is this ok to just leave? or do I need to see my doc? It's never bled before xx
Sounds like piles and fissures to me?
I had this happening and went to the GP the same day and she checked me over and said it was just piles and fissures and they bleed a lot at times!! bright red blood too.
Has your GP already said you have piles? has he/she gave you any cream for it? If not I would buy some over the counter and see what happens in a few days.
I don't know your backstory so when you say lumpy pile thing I assume you have the haemorrhoids!! Bleeding is a VERY common symptom with them and it's scary because the blood is mega red!!!
I get it often but now I know what it is it doesn't worry me. I just treat myself, take lots of warm baths, wipe myself with unscented baby wipes to keep clean and then after a few days it gets better.
Like I said, I don't know your back story so would you mind sharing it again for me?

I went to the docs, as I have like sorry tmi...a squidgy lump on the protruding out from side of my anus. The first doc said a pile, then after a month and no change went and saw another and he said it couldnt be a pile as it wasnt bothering me at all! and he said ''its just one of those things'' so Im not sure! but sometimes i get the occasional itch and now this blood :(
As long as the blood is bright red its fine and it will be from a pile. You can get quite a bit of blood if a pile bursts too. Its if the blood is dark you need to worry because this means its coming from a bleed inside you. I know this for a fact that bright red fresh blood is normal with piles as I worked in a nursing home and many of the residents had them and also I've had them myself xx

Aw thank you :) I thought with it been bright red it was probably ok! It was just as Iv had this pile for around 3/4 months and it doesnt usually bother me at all xx
Ok you def have piles!! As Cassy said, it is common with piles.
Yup, definitely piles -- bright red blood and piles is so common and nothing to worry about. Lots of people have piles which don't bother them - a friend of mine had really bad piles and the only symptom really was constipation, but that was when she had loads of piles both inside and out.
Itching is also really common with piles too :)

Happens to me now and again. Piles is the cause of mine.

I get quite a lot of blood sometimes, it is bright red in colour . I did check with the doctor who did an examination and confirmed I have a small pile. Apparently if you are constipated and strain when going to the toilet there can be more blood. If you already havn't then best to check with GP who can reassure you.

Hi Zee, This is the first time I have had blood! I have had this lump for ages, so I was concerned as its never happened and 9 times out of 10 i dont even know its there! Im just hoping it wont happen again! I just keep trying to think if it was serious it would either be ALOT of blood OR dark blood. xxx
Hi anxietyoverload, I have had spots before, nothing much especially with the fissure.. But the piles ... a spot on tissue, yet today, two wipes and then it stopped. I suppose it wasnt that much but being blood phobic it just freaked me..
Ive read about drinking more water to keep things soft. Does anyone know if this just softens or does it also add bulk, as want to avoid that.

It could be a fissure (tear) or a pile that is bleeding.
I get a lot of fresh blood sometimes like this as well
If you are worried maybe see the doctor before Xmas.
It sounds very much like piles or possible anal fissure (this will be nippy and you will know you have it!)
I had it checked out properly with a camera up the butt a few years ago, it was unpleasant but gave me peace of mind. I had the option to get something else stuck up and banded off or change my diet, I choose to change my diet!!
You might eventually notice certain foods or alcohol can cause them, or even loose soome weight which can help.

This pile actually appeared after a heavy night of drinking! i didnt know this could cause them! but its been there for months now! xx
Piles are the work of Satan and yes there is nothing more alarming than wiping your bum and seeing blood for the first time. But it seems we have to live with them if we're prone to them and they're not considered serious. There's lots of good advice on the net on how reduce them - for me they were my body's way of telling me my diet was shockingly bad. Once I went over to lots of fresh fruit and veg things got a lot better.
I also found using baby wipes or similar was a more gentle way of wiping than toilet paper as they're damp and softer (though you shouldn't flush them down the loo as you'll block the drains, which I also did, to add to my misery lol).

Sounds about right, I need to avoid cider, a few days after that I can sometimes get it.
Not had any in ages, the camera thing I would not want to repeat as it was alot thicker than I was told!:scared15: Ouch.....
It doesn't mean you should ignore it all together, if you change to more fruit, veg and less fatty foods it should make a difference.

I've had the same thing! It sound like piles/fissures.
I've had piles for and they'd never bothered me except for the bleeding. It depends on the severity of the piles I guess.
It's nothing to worry about but if it's bothering you then speak to your GP. They've seen it hundreds of times before and should be able to offer you some effective treatment! :)

I'v tried anusol, but the pile its self doesnt bother me. 99.9% of the time i dont know its there. Its just when I go and now everytime there is blood! Its just scary seeing it i guess. And because my Pile is visible, its like a lump on the inside of the skin around my anus I worry its cancer :'( xxx
