Does anyone know how to tell the
difference between anal polp, anal fissure
and anal hemorroid. I have had bleeding
symptoms for years and I have been too
scared to see the dr.

Never be afraid to see a Doc.. It might
save your life.. Tell me is the bleeding a
red color? or Dark.. and is it after
exercising. or a difficult bowel movement?
I had bleeding it was red and it usually
happened after I exercised. But because my
father died of colon cancer ( because he
didn't go to the doctor) I had a
colonoscopy. and everything was fine. And
by the way like most people think, a
colonoscopy DOES NOT HURT. I has a small
hemorrhoid, and that was where the
bleeding was coming from..
I can not explain the difference of the
anal polyp anal fissure and anal
hemorrhoids. But I do know if you have a
polyp, it can bleed. But it does need to
be removed because it can go into cancer.
Regardless , you need to find out why you
are bleeding.. I'm sure it is nothing. But
get it checked out so you can stop
worrying..

It is bright red blood, and only a little
and only once in a while. I've had 2
babies and it never happened while I was
pregnant. Just every once in a while it
does happen. I am so embarrased to say
this, but it feels like there is a small
lump coming out of my butt- it gets
iritated when I have diarhea. You can
actually feel it and see it. I never
thought about a hemorrhoid before, but I
found this site and the symptoms sound
like mine. Do hemorroids come and go after
long periods of time? Do they last for
years? Thank you so much for responding.
This is the first time I have ever said
this to anyone and I really need some
help.

Yeah it sounds like a hemrroid to me and
they can come and go.. I never had
children. But I have a small on the flares
up now and then. If the blood is bright
red. it sounds like it is a hemmroid..
Dark color is usually something enteral,
and can be more dangerous. I would go to
the doc.. You have had children so you
know it is no big deal to be looked at! Go
and get some peace of mind.. They can tell
you just what to do far better than I
can.. But to me.. by what you say it
sounds like a hemroid

Don't be scared.. when I went to the doc
and had a colonoscopy. I thought I would
come out with a colostomy bag like my dad
did, and he died 6 months later.. and I
had nothing wrong.. just a little
hemorrhoid.. and I am 100% sure that is
all you have to.. Just go and then you
won't be scared anymore. and if it is
something serious ( I don't think it is)
then it can be removed and you will be
fine.. I have a friend who is 33 and she
had blood.. but it was dark and they did a
colonoscopy on her and she had cancer
advanced cancer, and they got it all and
she is fine.. Just had her first baby 4
months ago.. so just go! Please.. you will
be glad you did. Because I know he is
going to tell you it is just a
hemorrhoid.. But if you are over 50 or
have a family history of colon cancer you
need to have a colonoscopy.

Of course you're right. I'm 38 and I have
no health issues at all and no family
history of health problems. I know this
sounds so stupid but what kind of dr.
should I even see?

go to you regular doc.. I think they will
excam you and tell you what it is.. Please
go.. I'm sure it is just a hemrohoid.. and
you will be releaved. Stess and worry is
not good on us!
no question is a stupid question.. If you
don't know!
