(Serious Help) Constipation - Rectal Bleeding (Kinda gross)
0
Well I'm constipated. Have had seven stool softeners over the course of three days and two spoon fulls of laxidive or whatever but I haven't had 'the last push'. My anus has swelled up or something because whenever I sit or try to go it stings. Just now I had a bowel movement (not 'the last push' but a bowel movement none the less) and I was wiping myself gently (as to not disturb my already irritated anus) and I check the cloth I was using (wanted to see the color ya know see if its healthy) and I see a dab of red. Just to be sure I wipe gently again and theres more red. These are very minor miniscule stains of red such as the size of a tick. Now I being obsessive compulsive freak out and check the medicine I was using and it says to stop using and contact doctor if you have rectal bleeding. Of course I call my doctor but shes not in. I call up my mother and she tells me that it isn't rectal bleeding. Now I love her but she is wrong most of the time. What is rectal bleeding? I was not bleeding out my ass like I look into the toilet and see a pool of red. If I hadn't wiped I wouldn't have noticed there was any blood. Is this bad? Bad as in its rectal bleeding.

Bad as in its rectal bleeding.If it's a bright red, that means it is fresh blood, and it could just be because of the stress of trying to clean your bowels, and wiping. Another possibility is that you may be having too many energy drinks. I'm not saying you do drink them, but it causes undo stress on your body, not just your nerves. If it's a darker red, you may have a more worrisome problem than stress. I went in to the hospital for the fresh blood a few months ago, and they said to cut back on sugar/caffeine, and to try to lower my stress levels. I still had to get the finger up my butt to check for colon cancer, but I was good to go (except for my pride T_T). I'd suggest getting it looked at, but if it's fresh blood, it probably won't be that serious.

well, i'm a girl, and everyone knows girls dont poop, but ill do my best to help!
Rectal bleeding is when you shit blood.
more eloquently... rectal bleeding=blood in stool or unusually dark stool (due to blood mixed in). and i think the term for what you described is an "anal fissue," which is surprisingly common during constipation. also prominent after childbirth and anal sex. check with your doctor though, it could develop into something more serious (such as fissures getting infected, ulcers or sphincter issues.)
this happened to my brother when we were much younger, and my dad (who was a doctor, thats why i know all this random stuff) basically just told him to stop straining so much.
good luck?

I experienced your problem once; pushing so hard your butt hurts then feels like it's burning. you thought it was over but it's still there... yeah, it hurts... don't worry, it's normal, I guess. think of it as a normal reaction of your anus to all the stress it's experiencing...
my only advice is to not push too hard... having hemorrhoid is worse than being circumcised without any anesthesia...
CAUSE:
Increased straining during bowel movements caused by constipation or diarrhea may lead to hemorrhoids.

you could simply have (over the course of the few days) scratched the spot raw to the point of blood, it's a more likely occurrence than anal bleeding or a torn rectum.

BUT(T?) you had the personal experience/horror story to go with your layman's terms.

While what those other guys said may be true, I recommend you seek medical help if the problem persists for too long.

Like everyone else said, you probably won't die, but it's a very good idea to see your doctor.
He might molest you a little bit, but really it's all for your well being.
And I'm sure he'll have the courtesy to give you a reach-around.

Haha, Penelope said butt ^_^
Also, my mom was a med student before she got into law, and some of the intrigue rubbed off on me. But I go for the stuff she can't stand, like seeing the people as they come in with their problems, not going to the pharmacy for the pills. Which is what she had a job for, even though she knew a lot more than just that.
I've got other cool stories, is there a thread for wounds we've gone through?
