i have a hernia. had a operation 6 months ago. recently found blood in my stool? is it due to the hernia or not? how worried should i be?
hallo worried hernia<br>a hernia will not cause blood in the stool. if it was just a little bit when you wiped, it could have been a hemorroid. if it is more ( tablespoons full), mixed with stool or splasing in the bowl you need to see your doctor as this could be signs of dangerous bowel diseases<br>dr bets
hello,
welcome to icliniq.com.
i guess you do not have pain at anus while passing stools. is there anything which comes out of anus during straining? it is better to get it confirmed by a local doctor by examination regarding the diagnosis.
hemorrhoids as such are not life-threatening. the problems associated are bleeding and sometimes pain. permanent treatment is surgical removal. however, it can be well controlled. firstly, you should avoid straining at any cost while passing stools. straining will increase them and also lead to bleeding. so it should be avoided.
next thing is your stool should be soft so as reduce the damage, bleeding and need for straining. for that, you should eat high fiber diets like fruits apple, banana, oranges, and green leafy vegetables like spinach, raw cucumber. avoid smoking, refined food, fatty and oily food. you should have plenty of fluids and regular exercises. also, you should have isabgol powder two tablespoons bedtime to maintain stool soft. alternatively, you may have a syrup like lactulose 15 to 30 ml bedtime to maintain your stool soft. if there is a pain, then you can apply 2 % lidocaine gel before each stool so as relieve pain.
for more information consult an internal medicine physician online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/internal-medicine-physician if you have had problems with excessive bleeding this may be related. obviously you must be seeing a doctor and you should address this question to the person ordering your tests. good luck. see more... it's likely either a thromboses hemorrhoid with the surface slightly ulcerated, if so it will resolve on it's own or it's a small perianal abscess which if draining will also likely resolve. if your symptoms persist for more than a few weeks or recur see your doc. see more... brown blood is old blood so it could have been when your dr has given you an exam he&#39;s just irritated the area. it could also be remnants of implantation. i would say aslong as its not red blood you should be fine but you should ring your dr and discuss with him to ease your mind as you don&#39;t want to be stressing yourself out if you don&#39;t need to be
good luck and let me know what happens x hello,
welcome to icliniq.com.
i have gone through your complaints. looks like you have a fissure in the anus. you need to understand one thing. it is not going to heal unless you stop straining while passing stools. as it is a wound at the passage it causes your anal sphincter to go into contraction in pain further causing you to strain and it becomes a cycle. you need a high fiber diet. you can supplement with psyllium husk powder. also, there is a procedure where dilatation of the anal canal is done to help relax the anal sphincter to facilitate wound healing thus avoiding surgery. would advise an exam by your doctor to be sure. see more... may be a sign of infection, check with your doctor. see more... could be a yeast infection. see your doctor for a treatment recommendation. you may have an infection, or a problem with ovulating on time. have you been diagnosed with a hernia? is it a groin (inguinal) hernia? groin hernias can cause nerve burning sensory discomfort in the groin or testicle or upper thigh regions. a hernia would not cause a leg to go cold. see more...
