Embarrassing question re bleeding?

I am having some bleeding from my bottom when I go to the toilet. I gave birth to my daughter 14 months ago and did get hemorrhoids but used cream and the symptoms seemed to ease. I do not suffer from constipation but still get bleeding most times when I go. The blood is dark red and sometimes has small clots. I seem to have a skin tag or something which I dont think is a hemorrhoid as it has been there for a long time before I had my daughter and never caused me any problems. I went to my doctor when the bleeding first started quite bad and she said I had a fissure. This was a few months ago and so would have thought it would have cleared up by now. Has anyone else had this? Did it clear up? Did you need any treatment?

The truth is about hemorrhoids is that they don’t often go away. Fissures in the rectal canal can easily develop and recur depending on the consistency of the stool. You mentioned that the blood is dark red. What about the color of the stool? If it is black, it can suggest a whole other problem (ie: ulcers in the upper GI tract). Also, is it painful when you pass the stool?

There is alot of hemorrhoid talk….?

Ok there are alot of references on here to hemerrhoids and how common they are during pregnancy. Help me out. What exactly is a hemorroid, what are the symptoms, at what point during pregnancy did you experienced them and what is the treatment? Thanks.
Fun things to look forward to!!!!

Do you know what piles are? Basically a hemorrhoid is a varicose vein that forms just outside or inside the rectum. They form because there’s more pressure on that area of your anatomy, but also more blood flow. Straining when you go to the loo can also make it worse or bring them on.

It happens for the exact reason you get varicose veins in your legs. People who sit or stand a lot tend to get them as well (whether they’re pregnant or not). It usually goes away by itself after the baby’s born.

You’ll feel “pressure” in that area, maybe a stinging sensation, itching and sometimes extreme, throbbing pain. You may also experience some bleeding when you go to the loo for a bowel movement. If you care to feel down there, it may feel like a grape or a bunch of grapes (if you have more than one) as hemorrhoids sometimes “cluster”.

Not everyone gets them though. I’m 33 weeks along and still don’t have anything that remotely resembles a hemorrhoid. I’ve had one before though, so I know what they feel like. If they’re uncomfortable (and big!!) the doctor will give you hemorrhoid creme which you can apply to the area.
