bleeding from the bowels (TMI)

[Lisa]

Could it be a fissure?
I have one that only plays up every now and again but when it does it is exactly as you described.

It is more than likely due to your little friend but any bleeding from the bowel should be investigated hun. You don't have to be really worried, but it is still concerning enough to get it checked out.

Red blood is not usually a problem - most likely the 'roid as you suspect. But it's always best to get it checked just to be sure.

phew sounds good (well you know what i mean ) yep red blood ive actually thought a few times it may have been AF, thank goodness it wasnt!!

The razor blade feelin brings back memories - fissure!!! I didn't get any dr to look at it (cos I'm shy and I don't want people poking me back there!) but I could feel it tear everytime I went for a number two.

I got some cream from the chemist (and after asking for the cream, I'm never going there again!) and it took care of it for me. Its not pleasant applying it.. but better than the pain.

Agree with the others - it is good to get bowel bleeding checked out just in case.

Could be a fissure too that's definitely a razor blade like feeling!

I think if any of us were told as young girls that this is what we have to look forward to when we become Mums that none of us would have had kids such a glamourous life isn't it?
