Q: Colon Discomfort/problems & Blood

For the last two or so years I have been finding blood in my stool. Sometimes it feels like i'm tearing, but I just don't know. I just agve birth to my first child three weeks ago, and since then its been worse. I had pains in the left side of by buttox, but it quickly went away. Since the birth of my child, its worse to make a movement and theres been more blood. Also as disgusting as this sounds and as embarassing as it is to say this, but also after giving birth to my child, part of the hole has in a sence, fliped outside. Thats the best way I can desribe it. Its really sensative and i'm in a lot of pain and I have no idea what is causing this or how to take care of it. I'm going to call my Dr. Tomarrow, I just wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on what this could be or on how to deal with it. Thank you.

Contacting your doctor is always a good idea.


However it sounds like following the birth of your child you have developed an external hemorrhoid which is extremely common in your situation.


It is possible that prior to the birth you had internal hemorrhoid producing discomfort and some blood.

There are a range of over the counter creams to treat hemorrhoids, which should bring relief within a week or so.
