Serious, yet hypothetical, question

Say a person is experiencing, oh, I don't know, rectal bleeding. Not a lot, just a little. Could said person safely assume that it's hemmorrhoids? And if that assumption can be safely made, is there anything that can be done about hemmorrhoids? I mean, are they "cureable"? Or would said person just need to "manage" said condition?

Prep H. It works. Totally curable.

But, no, you cannot safely assume its hemorrhoids.

But if I use the Prep H, and the bleeding goes away, then I can assume it was 'rhoids, right?

It could be rhoids or a fissure. I had one as a kid, it's basically a crack in your ass and it can bleed. Whichever it is, I hope you get to feeling better. I've had roids before too and they dont feel great.

Prep H really is wonderful. Bleeding though really should be checked out. It is not as bad as it seems.

Prep H is supposed to work well on facial wrinkles.

What CSTL said about fissures.

I have a funny Eric story about that, but perhaps this is not the place. :C

Hmmm... so, if I had 'rrhoids, there would be another symptom other than the occasional bleeding? I'm not having any pain or discomfort. Well, no more pain or discomfort a woman of my size would normally experience. But I don't want to go to my doctor for this. I'm assuming that he would have to actually *look* at my ass to diagnosis this, and I have a feeling my ass would have to be bare. I don't know that I could face my doctor again after that examination, and then I'd have to find another doctor. And I don't wanna! *stamps feet*

I think when you have hemorrhoids it hurts or at least feels very uncomfortable when you crap. If you have blood in your stools it makes them look darker than usual, sometimes almost black but not necessarily bloody looking. Blood of any kind in your stools is a Very Bad Thing Which Must Be Looked At because you never know.

Hemorrhoids are a pain in the ass to get rid of. You may be able to feel hemorrhoids with your fingertip, but not if they are fairly small or don't extrude. A doctor on the other hand (or whichever hand she uses) will be able to diagnose hemorrhoids pretty quick.
