what does it mean when you have blood coming from your bum?

Question

my friend has just rang me for advice she is worried cause when she has a poo there is a lot of blood coming out she tried ringing her doctors but its closed as its a saturday
any ideas?

i just want to add it only bleeds when she has a poo, and its bright red. She said she is a little constipated

does this help

Answer 1

I suggest she phones NHS direct for advice.0845 4647.

If it is fresh blood and there is only a smear then it is probably piles or something similar and not too serious but should still see a doc. If there is a lot of blood or if the blood is dark rather than bright red, she should get help asap. The doctors should also have an out of hours service?

You can find out more about natural hemorrhoids cure here http://curehemorrhoid.info
Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.

An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.

Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

hi there. sounds like she has internal piles. if she has been constipated then trying to have a poo will put pressure on the bowels, causing the piles. when she tries to go to poo tell her to relax and take something to read in with her. it will take time but if she sits there and waits without pushing it out it will clear up but if its causing discomfort then see the doc for a cream she can use to help and reduce the swelling.you can tell by an internal examination of the rectum.if she pushes they may pop outside so tell her not to do that.if its not piles then it could be a sign of other damage.its wrong to ask but has she had anal sex lately because that can also give the same effect. if the blood loss is really ad got to a+e. take care

I developed hemorrhoids about 1 year ago. Then I dicovered this system: http://treathemorrhoid.kyma.info Hemorrhoids are in a general sense engorged veins. If this happens in the rectal area, it becomes hemorrhoids. I purchased this method that speak about the most proficient system to discard hemorrhoids naturally, without surgery. It helped me a lot! Now I live really better! I can't acknowledge how rapidly I got relief (pretty much overnight!) I didn't have hemorrhoids anymore and, in the case they will come back, I know what to do :) After following the instructions of the method throb, irritation, shivering and draining was gone. I can guarantee that I got rid of my hemorrhoids problems with this method: http://treathemorrhoid.kyma.info If you're suffering for hemoroids you should definitly try it! you won't regret, trust me.

Answer 5

Oh, poor girl. If she has been constipated, straining hard will have burst a blood vessel in her back passage. If the blood is bright red, that's probably what it is. If it is dark/old blood and/or mucus it could be something more serious. Tell her to ring NHS direct-it was definitely a FAQ when I worked there, and a nurse will ring her back & tell her what to do. Its 0845 4647.

Answer 6

Firstly - tell her not to panic.

It's happened to me on occasion.

If she's constipated, then it sounds as though she tried 'pushing' too hard and has burst a small blood vessel.
Tell her not to try so hard.

If the 'bleeding' doesn't stop within 3 - 5 days, THEN go see the Docs, it could be a sign of bowel cancer (which was my first indication).

Don't get her scared by telling her of all the above possibilities from peeps who have no experience.

Answer 7

Could be an anal fissure -a split in the colon lining near where the poo comes out. Usually looks alot worse than it is cos the blood looks more when u c it in the loo, or on the loo roll. Can be caused by needing to poo lots rather than constipation. See Dr when u can, they will probs give u some special cream(not piles cream) to relax your bott when u go. Mine bled when I went for a wees too, and was v. painful. But cleared up with the cream quite quickly. Piles can bleed too, but u would probs know if u had them anyway and your bum would itch aswell. good luck

Answer 8

IT CAN MEAN a number of things it could be a tear in the lining, an std such as chlamydia, colon cancer(god for bid) or something else...she should see a doctor right away to get a proper diagnosis
