I have a lot of external hemroids but there is one that looks different, it is one big one but in the middle of the hemroid is black and blue. It hurts really bad especially when I go to the bathroom. I have diarea. Please I have had hemroids before when I was pregnant but now I am not pregnant but this one looks different than the hemroids that I am used to. Is this normal the way it looks?

Sorry to have to ask this but I need some advice. I had a colonoscopy 2 1/2 years ago and they found a polyp – the doctors removed it and scheduled another colonoscopy in 5 years (2010). Now, the problem is about a month ago I had started seeing fresh blood on my toilet paper when I had a bm. I would also see fresh blood in the stool. This happened for about 2 weeks – but the last 3 weeks I haven’t seen anything. Should I be concerned??
I spoke to my doctor today and she said that she was going to follow-up on my last colonoscopy report but she felt like she would leave it alone for now. Should I press the issue and ask for another colonscopy?? Would something major pop up in the 2 1/2 years since my last test???
Thanks for any advice you can give. By the way, there has been no pain or cramping and my bm’s are completely regular.
I don’t have external hemroids I know.
No new meds.
I’ve never needed stool softeners.
Bright red blood is a sign of bleeding in the lower bowel/rectum/anal areas. Dark blood is a sign of bleeding in the upper GI (Stomach/Small intestine). You may have an internal hemorhoid, or you may have another polyp. You won’t know until the doctor does another colonoscopy. I hope everything works out. Good luck to you! & Best wishes!

And what causes hemorrhoids? And what are the treatments?
Hemorrhoids symptoms are:
- Bright red blood covering the stool, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl.
- Anal itching
- Painful swelling or hard lump around the anus.
Hemorrhoids are internal or external depends if they develop inside the passageway of the anus (internal) or around the anus (external).
Since the skin is more sensitive, the external hemorrhoids are more painful than internal, unless we’re talking about prolapse internal hemorrhoids, where the internal hemorrhoid prolapse (protrude) outside the anus and the pain is severe.
Hemorrhoids don’t just disappear by it self and bigger they are more problems they cause, so it is vital to treat them as soon as possible.
It is also important to determine what the cause of hemorrhoids is. The most common cause is constipation. Other reasons are: significant overweight, pregnancy, overeating, acid/alkaline imbalance, vitamin B-6 deficiency, fatigue liver, genetically predisposition. Sitting or standing in one position for long periods of time can also contribute to development of hemorrhoids.
Treatment options are: various creams, pills, medical injection, super freezing, tight rubber band placed around the base of each hemorrhoid, surgery or laser treatment.
Whatever treatment you’ll decide to do, remember to also treat the cause of your hemorrhoids, like take care of your digestion and regular soft bowel in case of constipation (fiber rich diet), if you’re overweight – lose weight, in case of acid/alkaline imbalance pay attention by your food to eat food that through the digestion system is giving you proper acidity. You can buy a home test for acid/alkaline imbalance, if you don’t want to visit your doctor. The vast majority of us are having low alkaline pH, due to improper nutrition.
Unless you’re having constipation (this you can know by yourself), before doing experiments and try to guess what is the cause of your hemorrhoids, go visit your doctor, make all proper test and than decide for the treatment of hemorrhoids including changing of your diet, if necessary.

Tucks. Even , Vicks Vaporub is very soothing. A bag of ice. Sitz baths.
For most external hemorrhoids, home treatment is all you need. This includes slowly adding fiber to your meals, drinking more water, and using over-the-counter ointments for a limited time to stop itching. You also may use stool softeners. The same home treatment can be used for most internal hemorrhoids
Healthy habits can help you prevent hemorrhoids or keep them from getting worse. Eat foods that have lots of fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Also, drink plenty of water, and get some exercise on most days of the week.
