I Haven't Been Feeling Well Lately. I Started Working Out.
Question: I haven't been feeling well lately. I started working out. Don't drink but I used too. Last week I had what was I think food poisoning. So I've lost ten pounds rather quickly. Since then I have noticed some blood while wiping. I think it may be a tear or hemorrhoid. Yesterday I noticed a dent in my lower abdomen. A little worried now..
Brief Answer:
Probably hemorrhoids, follow the advice below.

Food poisoning and possible diarrhea can trigger the symptoms of hemorrhoids.
I would recommend to use a hemorrhoid cream such as Preparation H.
I would also recommend to use probiotics daily.

Drink liquids

If the symptoms continue you should see a proctologist for a physical examination.
