I have had the same problem for the past month. I can actually feel mine rip when I go. Then I have blood everywhere. I'm not going to the doctor because all they will do is cut them off and I don't have the money for it.

Use the Prep H wipes or go to the doctor and get some prescription ones and start using baby wipes instead of TP. That helps a TON. Cottenele makes some good ones that are supposedly septic safe.

Another note, I have been changing the way I take craps. I put my chest on my thighs and do like a calf lift. Sitting on a toilet isn't a natural way of pooping, your body isn't designed to poop sitting straight up like that.

This is true, if it becomes too labored you can put your feet on a stool stool ( ;) ).

Squatting helps with a large assortment of bowl issues actually.

As for the OP, I've had the same issues on and off. It sucks but isn't much to worry about so long as it is red surface blood and not profuse.

At first I thought this would be the most embarrassing question in ATOT history, then I realized it probably wouldn't even make the top 100 in the few months that I've been here.

So anyway the last couple times I've dropped the kids off at the pool, it felt a little odd at first, like there was something in the way if that makes any sense. Same thing this morning, except there was bright red blood on the TP and in the bowl on the product; specifically the first part that came out. I'd say about a teaspoon's worth. D:

Obviously I'm not happy with this, so I set up an elaborate system of mirrors to inspect things back there, and externally everything looks ok. Sitting here now, when I 'clench' things feel a little uncomfortable, but nothing painful. My diet is fine, I get plenty of fiber, don't eat processed / refined foods, and don't eat takeout. I'm not scared yet, I want to see what happens over the next day or so, but for those of you that have had hemorrhoids, does this sound typical? Also, I just took a couple weeks of from lifting heavy at the gym, so I'm wondering if I strained something deadlifting on Monday.

Are you saying that the hemorrhoids are "love handles?"

Do you bleed every time you receive anal sex, or has your ass become calloused?

Neither. It's just been super loose every since that night we spent together. :mad:

I hear it looks like a lima bean peeking out and saying hello to the outside world. Sorry I cant be of any more help.

I had one. It sucked, really bad. Id go to the restroom to wipe my butt every hour or so. I dont know how I got it. I eat really good with lots of fiber. Rarely eat refined, processed carbs if any. I was thinking it could of came from the gym. Anyways, it was 3 weeks of hell until it healed itself.

#1 wrong forum

#2 drink TONS of water, and relax your bowels and don't "push" so hard when crapping

#3 patience

#4 go get a full colonoscopy

I agree w/ the others who suggest seeing a doc. You do not wanna have ass cancer.

OP, start a live thread once you start taking the pre-op colonoscopy coctails. Amd DONT mix it with your favorite drank mix, youll never want to drink it again

Update 2: Went again today for a particularly large package drop off, and tried pushing a little too hard...blood this time. I wish there was a way to take smaller shits until this thing heals over. May just go see my doctor if it's still bothering me early this coming week.

What i would do: Eat more fiber & use prep H for a week. If not better go to the doc.
Or just go to the doc.

Have you tried using an at home enema kit? It will clean you out and give the little ah heck some time to heal. Otherwise use those suppositories to give you some protection for the next time you have to poo. They can "grease the shoot" and help things come out easier.

Go to the doctor.

My uncle had very similar symptoms, he now has a colostomy bag. :(
