Help - 26wks Prg - Bleeding Hemmorhoids Posted: 10-29-03 13:29pm
Hi,
i need some advice. I am 26 weeks preg
and have a rather large hemmorhoid. It
has bled a few times over the past couple
weeks but has stopped hurting. I saw the
gastro dr yesterday on advice from my
obgyn and he said that there was a large
clot that broke loose and probably caused
the bleeding. Now here is my dilemna, he
has recommended that I have a colonosciopy
after I deliver. I am only 34 and the
thought of doing this scares me to death.
Not the actual procedure but why he may
want me to do it. I have had dark stools
(ob/gyn says from prenatal vitamins) and
now I have convinced myself that I must be
bleeding and dying from cancer that they
can't diagnose for another 4 or 5 months.
Has anyone out there had any of these
problems?
Thankyou!!!!!!!!

Bleeding Hemroids At 26 Weeks Posted: 11-24-03 14:45pm
With my last pregnancy I had a problem
with hemroids and I was about 5 or 6
months pregnant and I went to the
bathroom. To my surprise I saw the toliet
full of blood. I rushed to call my doctor
and was told that I had ruptured a
hemroid. I never had any problems after
my pregnancy.

The situation you described is very common
and your doctors suggestion that it was a
small blood clot is most likely correct.
The time to worry about illnesses such as
cancer is when there is no other logical
reason for bleeding, your problem is
pregnancy related so don't worry.
