internal hemorrhoid

A few months ago I noticed blood in the toilet after a bowel movement. The amount was enough to scare me so I went to see the doctor. He said I had a very large hemorrhoid but he did not see it bleeding in the office. He gave me some suppositories and also some antibiotics for an infection. I finished the treatment and did not notice any blood in my stool at all for weeks. Recently I am bleeding again when I have a bowel movement and I feel like I have to go all day but I don't. I also have gerd so I am assuming the constant feeling of having to defecate is related to that, I was just wondering if this sounds like an internal hemorrhoid? I would rather not spend the money and waste a gastro doc's time getting scoped for just a hemorrhoid. Thanks.

If you see any blood in your bowel movement itself then have this checked out...When a hemorrhoid is active it will bleed...Just be sure that it is not in your stool...Take care...

You need to go see a collerectal surgeon. If you haven't had a colonoscopy before it ios reccommended that you have one just to make sure that it is only hemorrhoids.

Time to examine some of your personal lifestyle choices... Simple changes can make dramatic improvements in what really causes hemorrhoids.

Good luck!
