Question:
I think that I might have hemroids?
For like the last 6 months I have rectal bleeding during bowl movements, sometimes there wasn't hardly any blood at all, and sometimes there was a lot, I haven't gone to the doctor because I know that my mom has had them and they just prescribed her medication, however I don't hurt anywhere, no discomfort or any kind. Sometimes if my stools are hard they have blood on them as well, I just don't understand why it's happening, I know my mom was in a lot of pain and discomfort from them, and I don't, thats why I haven't go\ne to the doctor, I don't have the money to and if it's nothing serious I don't want to waste my time or money... someone please help me thanks!
Answers:
Bloody stool without the appearance of hemorrhoids is not a good sign. If you're experiencing regular bleeding, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Doing a quick WebMD search, using their Symptom Checker and bloody stool being the only symptom, I came up with these possible conditions besides hemorrhoids: Crohn's Disease, Proctitis, Ulcerative Colititis, Colon Cancer, Pre-Leukemia Disorder, and plenty of other terrible things. You NEED to see a doctor.
