View Full Version : Bleeding after walk - piles?
Hi all,
Many months ago I had this huge fear about colon cancer that led to me getting checked out by 2 GIs. I had a change in bowel habits to looser stools. After many months of high anxiety neither doc felt warranted any testing besides the simple checks, all symptoms stopped.
Today I had a bowel movement and then went for a walk. I started feeling irritated down there during the walk, like itchy and uncomfortable. When I came back I went to the restroom and wiped and there was some bright red blood. I freaked out! Kept wiping and it went away after 2 wipes and hasent come back. I've never had this happen before. :(
It still feels irritated but no more bleeding so far. Could this be piles? I don't want to run to the doc right away, but obviously will if it keeps up. Has anyone had bleeding like this after exercise? The last time I had bleeding down there wa after delivery with an anal fissue( ouch!).
Yes, this is most likely piles. They do cause small amounts of blood after wiping unfortunately. Rest assured, you have seen 2 GI’s already so nothing is concerning to them. Also, the fact it was bright red means it was fresh so likely from your a pile rather than a deeper problem if that makes sense? Trying not to go into TMI haha!
I know, not the most pleasant topic!
It's just bringing up a bunch of bad feelings that I thought I had gotten rid of earlier this year. :(
Hopefully it was a one time thing or something that will heal quickly on its own!
I have suffered with piles for a while (4 children) I recently had a big one. Anyway, we had a case of worms in the house:blush: I got so frightened by the fact the kids had worms I started wiping really hard not realising what I was doing. Turns out I had actually cut the pile. I got in such a panic I called out of hours doctor was checked she told what had happened. A few days later I was out walking with my kids and I felt itchy and wet (panic worms) I wiped and there was loads of blood, so I ran straight to the a&e, checked again, said the same thing. She said that because they are full of blood they tend to bleed lots.
I would just go and see the gp so they can have a check and they will be able to tell you. I have lost count how many times a doctor has seen my private parts now:blush: I think it will help put your mind at rest. If it’s irritating/itchy that does sound like but get your mind put at ease.

When walking there can be rubbing and the same sitting on them for to long I found. This meant sweating, seeping, itching, soreness and that can mean some bleeding as they are being rubbed.

Could be piles or could be a small tear from doing a poo, and blood from wiping is not anything bad , cancer from that area i know a friends dad that has it said he noticed it when went to toilet and literally filled up the whole toilet with blood, certainly not from having a uncomfortable bum then blood when wiping so dismiss it :)
Thank you all for your replies!
So far so good today, I'm trying to push away the anxious thoughts. I appreciate all your help! You know how HA makes you always assume the worst. :(

Hello! I am having rather similar issue here, I have prolapsed piles and I think anal fissures , I am not sure if It has even recovered. But today when I went to the bathroom, out of curiousity I use my finger to try to check if there are somemore hemorrhoids inside there, then it bleed very bit, and when now it feel sore and a little pain. The reason why I did it, is because I am afraid I have anal cancer. So now I am even more scared when there’s even a little little blood. But the blood isn’t alot so it’s just superficial isn’t it? I just turned 20. And I read that anal cancer is uncommon and more risk from anal sex. I am a virgin. And I just have most troubles dealing with my piles and nothing else.
