hi im a bit worried because i have had this pain right on my ass hole for quite a while. it hurts more so after i take a poo. i decided to see what it was and it looks like a spot/hump which is a dark red/black colour. it looks like it could be full of blood perhaps. i tend to bleed on most occasions when take a poo. can anyone help with this because its an annoying pain and im a little worried about it. thanks.
-
Spot on my ass. please help!

It's called a hemorroid.
-
ok thanks for that. how do i go about getting rid of it?
-
Haemorrhoids usually will go away by themselves, though they tend to recur, but you can hurry them along by getting a haemorrhoid cream from a pharmacist which shrinks them.It sounds like you often get small ones, which causes the bleeding. If your diet is low in fibre you might try adding more fibre, which will give you a softer stool and less straining.

i have had this pain constantly (some months) and i find it hard to go to the toilet because of the pain. sometimes it will bleed, others not. but i thought it was just cut and i decided to look and its about the size of a pea but flatter. is it blood inside it? i drink plenty of water but never any fruit. could that be a reason why?
-
Haemorrhoids do indeed contain blood - they are a sort of varicose vein, I believe. You certainly should try haemorrhoid cream. If that doesn't work, very bad haemorrhoids sometimes need surgery.Not enough fibre tends to cause hard stools that require a lot of straining, and the pressure pushes bits of vein outside the anus. More fruit and vegetables would be a good thing.

ok i'll give the apple a day thing a go i guess. i just want it to go away. apart from that its not life threatening in any way?
-
No, I've never heard of anyone bleeding to death or anything like that from a haemorrhoid - it's just uncomfortable.
-
normally its about 3 or 4 drops (bright red colour). i will try eating lots of healthy things and see how i go. i'll post in about a week if it hasnt gone...
