I'm 18 and I don't have cramping or a
change in my bowel patterns, but every
time I make a bowel movement, this has
gone on for about 2 months, I see blood on
the tp. There is a short, sharp pain as
well. Is this a hemmeroid? Help me
please:(!!!!

Based on your description it does sound
like a hemorrhoid.
Hemorrhoids are amongst the most common
rectal related problems and can be
effectively treated with exeternal
medications.

If you are bleeding from your anus. Have
it checked out. It is not normal. Do
not self diagnose.

Go see your doctor and he/she might
suggest you have a colonoscopy, I have
just turned 28 and have to have one every
two years ...
Good luck

A colonoscopy probably will be the second
thing they do if they don't see the
problem with a sigmoidoscope. They just
look up about 10 or 20 inches. If they
see the source of blood, they will fix or
rule out significant problems.
Problem is that bleeding lower down can
mask problems above, so the colonoscopy is
needed if the bleeding does not stop.
