Has anyone else had light rectal bleeding during pregnancy? I am thinking… hemrroids. But, I have no pain or discomfort. I’ve never had hemrroids so I don’t know what they feel like.

I had a bowel prep for a colonoscopy and my stool came back clear, however when i had the colonoscopy there was a lot of semi-liquid stool in the ascending colon and the cecum. Do you have any thoughts on what this could mean?

Is It really that important, could I die from a horrifying disease. I really just want to exercise be healthy, And take my supplements. I can’t imagine having to take this kind of shit every year.

When I DID have insurance, I asked for one and my doctor said no. She wouldn’t even examine my colon maybe because I don’t fall into the stereotype of the older male patient who get VIP treatment.

Anyway, lately I see little drops of blood from my behind and things just don’t feel right back there, plus I have a family history of colon cancer. I currently no longer have health insurance. Can I just walk into a hospital and request a colon cleanse and if so how much out of pocket would it cost?

I woke up and felt this intense pain coming from my stomach so i walk in the bathroom and found out my period has started, but this one hurts really bad, i’m naturally heavy. Anyway i went to reach for some tissue with my right hand and this bloating pain washed over my lower side of the stomach. I don’t know whats going on with me but anybody please tell me what’s going on.

i am about 5 feet 2 inches and weight about 126 pounds
My weight is ditributed mostly in my hips and my breasts so i dont really look overweight i am just curvy and big breasted
i have a little stomach fat but not enough to bother me
i enjoy staying active i play sports and do things outside like ride a bike but only exercise to exercise sporadically or start and never continue for more than maybe 2 weeks
i am not a picky eater and eat what i want but its mostly healthy and blanaced i have tried losing weight and i have slimmed down a little but never gotten to a point that was really dramatic or stayed there for a while
my goal is to be about 110 and my doctor says that would be a nice weight for my height so i would love to lose about 15 pounds
i just read and watched news clips all about colon cleansing and acia berry and read this womans story about how she used both pills and lost 41 pounds in 2 months
aside from losign weight i thing detoxing our bodies is a helthy thing to do and the weight loss would be a plus but i know ppl use them who want to lose a ton of weight from a pregnancy or soemthing
i was wondering if i could do the same thing but in smaller doses and how i would calculate it please help
doctors reccomendations would be appreciated also
thanks!
i have heard about this new free trial
but is it so new that i have to use this?
or can i still buy it otc

I have had trouble with bleeding off and on for the last six years. It seems to get worse with stress. Lately, it feels like I need to "go" constantly and sometimes nothing but blood comes out. I’ve been ignoring it hoping it would go away–also thinking it was probably something like hemroids so not anything to get worked up over. Starting to have nagging cramping in my abdomen and pain in my lower back as well.

My cat seems happy, she’s13 years old, she vomits and has bloody stools all the time. She will just go anywhere in the house, including my pillow. She will be fine and all of a sudden she’s straining in the middle of the kitchen floor. She’s now starting to urinate too all over my furniture. I don’t know what to do and have taken her to the vets and her blood work and stools are normal. The next step would be to do a biopsy of her colon and I don’t want to spend that kind of money on a 13 year old cat. What can I do?

So don’t want to gross people out but the net is the only place u can ask questions like these.. so, I went to the toilet and did a poo and when i wiped there was a tiny bit of blood.. like a few spots on the toilet paper. Now i have pain in my bum. I don;t know if its related or not, but yeah. It’s pretty dull pain. I am also trying to concieve and did some googling and now am worried it could be an ectopic pregnany? also.. and dont know if this is related.. but I have been doing the stinkiest farts all day.

Are you suppose to take 6 caplets , 3 TIMES a day.
18 caplets a day. or 6 caplets 1 day

I know that holding in your urine when you don’t really need to is bad for you, but just how bad? Will it cause colon cancer/kidney disease?

sometimes my 9 yr old daughter experience a colic like pain in her abdomen. Rectal suppositories gives her relief because upon bowelling, gases come out and the pain subsides. just want to know if administering suppositories like twice a month for this symptoms would be detrimental or not

I’m serious… I just did a little exploration and don’t know if what I’m feeling is normal. It seems to me there is a lump the size of a golf ball about 1 to 1 1/2 inches inside my rectum. It does not hurt, I have no pain or bleeding and no other abnormal symptoms. I am female, so it is not my prostate but in a slightly lower area.

I think I am having a colitis flare-up. I haven’t had a colonoscopy yet, but I have rectal bleeding.
I know that I should stay AWAY from ibuprofen (Advil) and probably should also stay away from aspirin.
Is it safe to take paracetamol/acetaminophen (Tylenol)?

I am 34 weeks, and yesterday I woke up and was having contractions with very painful rectal pressure during them. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and told him and her was going to check me, but found something down there and didn’t want to check me, incase it could cause in infection. So he wrote me a prescribtion for some meds. that I have to take til I deliever. Well I continued to have the rectal pain all day yesterday. When I got home form the doctor, I took two stool softners, to see if that was the problem, well about 9:30 last night I was in the bathroom. I got up this morning and I still have the pain, when it comes on, I can’t still on my butt or if I am standing, I double over in pain and can’t walk. I have tryed to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out (sorry if TMI)

What do ya’ll think is going on…is it just a very bad case of constapation or what? This is my 3rd child but was induced early with those at 35 weeks, and never had this til it was time to push!

Okay, now before I ask this, please be warned that it’s pretty graphic, so skip over this question if you’re sensitive about that kind of thing.

I have had chronic constipation for the past 2 years. I’ve been to the doctor about it (about a year and 1/2 ago), and what she recommended was to up my fiber level. I’ve done that. I get between 35 and 50 grams of fiber per day. I also drink a lot of water (with that fiber level you really need to). I’m also very active, which they say aids in the relief of constipation.

Upping the fiber level has helped (If I lower it back down I cannot go at all). I used to go to the bathroom twice per week, and it wasn’t easy to do so. Now, I’m not 100% constipated. I go to the bathroom pretty much every day. However, they’re small, hard pieces that sometimes pass easily, and sometimes don’t. Occasionally I will have a normal bowel movement, but this doesn’t happen that often. According to the doctor, this still is in the constipation category.

Back in September I had two incidents of pretty significant rectal bleeding. When it first happened I was a few hundred miles from home and it was on a Sunday so I just ignored it in the hopes that it wouldn’t happen again. Well, it happened again the next day at work. I of course left and went to the doctor. She did some test where she had to… uh…explore that area. The tests came back that there was nothing wrong. She said it may have just been an internal hemorrhoid that burst. I was told to contact her if it happened again. It has not happened since.

In the months since this, I’ve had a handful of incidents where there was mucus with my stool. Sometimes it’s all white, but sometimes there’s a small amount of blood in it. Also, occasionally there’s a small amount of blood in the stool itself, but no mucus.

Today (now this is really gross, I apologize) I passed gas and a little mucus came out. It was accompanied by a bit of blood. It’s really concerning to me. Is this in any way normal?

I’m just so frustrated that the doctor can’t find anything wrong with me. According to her, I’m doing everything right in regards to relieving the constipation. So why on earth is this still an issue?? I’ve researched all sorts of other ways to relieve it, but none of them are effective. The use of laxatives can actually make my situation worse. So all I’m left with is frustration and concern that there’s something more serious going on.

I plan on contacting my doctor again, but since it’s Saturday, I can’t do that until Monday. I know it’s probably a long shot, but I was hoping maybe someone would have some idea of what could possibly be going on with me.

Oh, by the way…I’m 27 years old so it’s not as if my age is a factor in this. I know sometimes people who are getting older can run into problems with constipation.

Thank you for any advice, insight, or suggestions you might have.
It was just a rectal exam.

So what can cause sever pain in the rectal region without having any bowel issues or cramps. I have had cramps, constipation, and I know what the urge to go feels like. This was something different. It has happened twice in the past two weeks. Both times the pain lasted a half an hour and both times was in the morning. I woke up from the pain. Also, it has happened in the past but during the middle of the night. I just woke up in horrible uncomfortable pain. AND NO I"M NOT GAY!! SAVE YOUR IDIOTIC COMMENTS FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!!

By the way I eat fairly healthy and use the bathroom regularly with little issues.

I have been sexually active for 4 years and I am 20 years old and have had two partners. I have always had pain during intercourse and it seems to be more superficial rather than deep but I do tend to get deep pain occasionally. I know I adequately lubricated and four play is not the issue. The pain starts as soon as penetration occurs and the pain is about 1 inch after entry. It feels like a burning, stretching feeling. I have a doctor’s appointment booked but I am just wondering what it could be in the mean time. Most of the time I cannot have intercourse because the pain is so bad but I am able to at other times. What could be causing this? Thank you

Other symptoms, not sure if related:
*Heavy, irregular periods until I went on the pill (still rather heavy though)
*sometimes vomit from menstrual cramps and would have to miss school because of pain. Also had to go to ER once because pain was so bad.
* gastro problems such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (diagnoses as chronic dyspepsia).. pretty much he didn’t know what was wrong with me
* rectal pain during bowel movement

Any suggestions would be helpful!
Nope not pregnant

Hi. I am 23, female. Healthy height and weight. Sorry this question sounds disgusting but it’s very serious

OK. When I have a bowel movement, there is so much blood. This has been going on some months. I got worried and I was sick so I had a colonoscopy done about 2 weeks ago. The colonoscopy was fine and they said there were no polyps or anything. But the bleeding won’t stop. Now in fact it is 10 times worse. Literally the toilet will be filled with blood.

I started taking fiber but that hasn’t helped. I eat healthy. I reduced meat to once a week and only a very little. I eat fruits and veggies every day, really barely any dairy products. Lots of water and no soda. I never drink or smoke.

The weird thing is that there is really no pain when I use the restroom or anything. I have had terrible hemmroids before, and there is no pain like that.

Should I be worried now? Is this common after colonoscopy?

I had sex (vaginal) yesterday and the last two days before that. It felt like my ovaries hurt when I was having sex. This usually happens but never have had it checked out. Today I am having anal bleeding. I have no pain. I am 21 years old. Can anyone tell me whats going on?

Please help she can use the bathroom like number 2 and number 1 it does hurt her abonmanal and I need some help is she ok,

I have been on an exercise program for about 3 weeks now and i noticed when i first started it i was having a lot of bleeding when i would go to have a bowel movement. Well it subsided and went away. Well last night i had constipation really bad and my rectum has been hurting really bad all day today. It hurts to sit down and get up. The pain is not unbearable but it is enough to be very irritating and cause discomfort throughout my day. I put neosporin on my rectum and it helped a little.

Is this from the exercising? What is going on, anyone else experience this?
I do have an appointment with my gynecologist on April 9th…do you think that that is too long to wait???
