    My brother/sister/non-binary sibling in Christ!

    Asking the Internet for medical advice is never, I repeat: never a good option. The best advice possible that you can get here is go see a doctor. I say that, because there is no way anyone here can do a proper assessment of your situation, so that is the only safe advice. of course, statistically speaking, it’s not likely to be something that will kill you, but we simply cannot tell from here.

    My advice: don’t be alarmed too much by all the horror stories you can find, but take it seriously enough to let a qualified health professional take a look at it.

    Bright red blood? Probably not a problem but talk to your doctor if it’s persistent

    Dark red to black? More serious, anywhere from get-to-the-ER-now to make an appointment asap.

    Like if you vomit and there’s blood, there’s a big difference between dark, dried blood, and fresh red blood. But anyway, this can vary vastly in severity, from simply rectal tears near the surface, to Chrohn’s disease or tumors. You may wish to read this page (scroll to lower GI in particular) and it would be good to ask a medical professional and not just Lemmy.

    I agree completely with the emphatic comments about not asking for medical advice on the internet.

    As an aside… some of you big guys are wearing your belts really tight and strangling your assholes into hemrroids to desperately keep your pants up. Consider switching to suspenders for the love of God. It can make a huge difference in the health of you asshole vasculature, stop the itching and bleeding after a few months. You can wear the suspenders under your shirt it you don’t like the style.

    If you are over 50 it could be diverticulitis, not serious but see a doctor to confirm.
    If you are under 50 see a doctor.
    So see a doctor either way.

    Sometimes you can tear your tract, I don’t mean with sex etc., but with forcing a large stool etc.

    You should go to the doctor and get it checked out. It’s embarrassing but:

    Sometimes it’s a sign of bowel cancer.

    Go to the doc and get checked out. It could be anything from cancer to an anal fissure.

    Even if it’s not life threatening it will slowly get worse and the surgery to fix it if it does is one of the most painful experiences you can have. Better to address a hemorrhoid or fissure now using the various creams you can apply yourself rather than that.

    Yes I’ve had that. No it’s not normal. Best case it’s an anal fissure, i.e. a tear in your butthole. If it’s a regular thing that means either it’s not healing or it’s tearing repeatedly. In both cases you need to talk to a doctor and figure out what’s going on.

    More likely is hemorrhoids. Also you need to talk to a doctor about that. Even if they seem fine, chances are they’re subtly and infrequently making your life far more miserable than it needs to be.

    It could also be several other things, diseases, damage, etc. In all cases you need to talk to your doctor to figure out what it is.

    Are you on any medication? I used to bleed everything I pooped when I was on a certain antidepressant, made multiple doctors visits where they tried a few different things. But then when I stopped taking the antidepressants it went away pretty quickly.

    It about your diet that makes your asshole burn and grows hemorrhoids. When you poop they break and you bleed. Eat more vegetables, fish and proteins. Less sugar and carbohydrates, no fastfood, drink only water.

        Doctors do the same and even asking moneys for that. Or do you think that your doctor gladly will take a look at your asshole without hesitation? It’s all about careless hipotesis till you die on pain or you are ready to burn cash.

          I have no idea where you get the idea that doctors do diagnosis without examination. I work in the medical field and have contact with many doctors, and no one is as careless as you suggest. Quite the contrary, actually.

          In other words this is just blatantly wrong.
