Noticed Bleeding With Stool And Having Pain. What Medicine Should Be Taken?

Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms are more likely caused by anal fissure but hemorrhoids can give similar symptoms. But you need to be aware that every blood in stool should be diagnosed with other large intestine diseases like polyps or even cancer. Therefore colonoscopy is advisable in such cases. Especially if the blood is mixed with the stool.
Usually when blood comes from hemorrhoids or fissure, it shows up at the surface of the stool and is bright or red (not dark).
To treat hemorrhoids or fissure the most important is to avoid constipations and make stool soft. To do that drink more water, soups, fiber XXXXXXX foods, yoghurt's etc. Prevent fatty foods and increase physical activity.
Hot baths with Quercus Cortex are very helpful. You should also ask your doctor about Nitroglycerin ointment and Xylocaine gel. Available without prescription suppositories for hemorrhoids can help as well.
Such treated hemorrhoids and fissure should get healed in a week or so.
Some hemorrhoids can be treated only with surgery especially dose which gets outside the anus, but first you should have colonoscopy performed and try mentioned therapy.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.


Here are some fiber XXXXXXX products:
wholemeal, granary and softgrain varieties of bread, jacket potatoes, new potatoes in their skins and baked potato skins, wholegrain breakfast cereals, brown rice
Beans, lentils and peas fresh and dried fruits with skin, vegetables – particularly if the skins are eaten.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
