Q: when i went to the bathroom i had blood on the toilet paper and in the toilet bowl after the bowel movement. this happened friday night after a night of drinking (beer only). and it happen today again but not as bad as friday night. i havent done nything to treat this other than drinking more water and trying to get more fiber in... tonight i stuck my finger in a little bit (my butt) and i felt something. i dont now how to explain it but i guess it felt a bulge. and there was blood on my finger. could this be a bulge vein or fisure? i do a lot of sitting during the day and i heard thats not good for this. i also intake caffeine during the day and sometimes a lot. and a few beers during the week.... what should i do to treat this? i know goin to a doctor is the easy answer but i want to try to treat this b4 going. i had this happen earlier in the year and it cleared up iin a week.... i believe this to be internal hemroids. are there any oinments to buy at the drug store only serious answers
A: Good news. You're ok. Time to time, I have the same thing and it's a hemorhoid. Most always the day after a night of boozin'. Thing I've found that works the best is Tucks pads. My doctor knows about it and he's not concerned. I've never gone the Preparation H route.
