Tmi poo post, sorry girls!

[1986princess]

The other day I went to the toilet and had the most painful poo,so sorry to share this. I noticed after that there was a bit of blood on the paper when I wiped but defo not from the front I checked! Been twice since and both times weren't as painful but still bit of blood when I wiped! Anyone else had this or thinks this is a concern? Apologies again for the detail x

Was it a hard poo?

You might have got a fissure, a little split in your bum hole which can bleed. Excuse pun but they are a pain in the arse! I have one and if I'm not careful it splits and causes blood/irritation. They can take a while to heal too.

Alternatively, it could be piles

If you've been constipated, you probably have a fissure ( small tear)...i have the same problem right now. Have been trying to eat more fruit and fibre but i am still constipated! As long as the blood is red, it means its fresh and therefor not coming from further up in your intestines. Hope this helps!

could be piles, which are inflamed / swollen capillaries/veins inside or outside your anus. straining when pooping causes these to rupture and bleed and once they have gone they can easily be made to bleed again by slight straining, they stop quite quickly tho and dont really hurt unless you have a really bad case of them and lots of the veins are swollen. a fissure hurts lots more and is caused as said by tearing due to size and solidity of your poo, hurts when done and takes longer to heal.

Thanx ladies I have overly had constipation just not gone as often but it was a hard poo! Felt like it was sharp and hurt when it came out! The joys x

i try and keep some sugar free mints handy for times when ive not gone for a day.

 

[1986princess]

Sort of go every 2 or 3 days! Sugar free mints I will have to try! Xx

i think its the sorbitol, they say on the pack that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. the complimints from aldi work really well, 2 or 3 will get stuff moving but not in a nasty explosive way

As long as its fresh blood theres no reason to worry - like the girls said - most likely piles or a tear.

I posted a recipe for a tea loaf type thing in here the other week - my mum's family swears by it for constipation.

Thanx for the recipe may try it! Xx

No probs - just be warned - dont eat too much of it in one go. xxx

Yea don't worry I get this quite often too. It's just a small tear. It sounds silly, but I try to use the horrible pooing experience as preperation for what labor might be like! hehe!!!!!

I suppose that is a way of thinking about it!! X
