Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have bleeding around the anus when whipping caused by hemorrhoids. Is this typical for outside hemorrhoids? I have hemorrhoid for five days now, just started bleeding last night. I take hot baths every night with Epsom salts.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
So, hemorrhoids are two types. External will be painful and internal will be painless. Both will have fresh red colored bleeding.
Yes, you are right to take laxatives. But I think as you are symptomatic, you need a definitive treatment like band ligation, sclerotherapy or surgical intervention. Also, I recommend you to take high fiber diet.
Complete blood count is also required to see if you are anemic or not due to bleeding.
For more information consult an internal medicine physician online.
