I’m 40 year old man.
Lately, I’ve noticed I have blood in my stool. Blood was very red and it seamed fresh.
I’ve been asking around to find out what could cause this kind of symptoms. One friend told me I could be suffering from hemmoroids in spike of fact that I don’t have usual hemmoroids symptoms like anal irritation and pain.
Is it possible that I have hemmoroids without these symptoms?
Could anybody tell me more what can give such bleeding on rectum?
Thanks

I understand why you doubt in your friend’s opinion.
Hemmoroids usually give symptoms you mentioned like anal irritation, itchiness and pain in rectum region.
But not always!
Hemmoroids that give such symptoms are usual called external but there is one more type of hemmoroids called internal.
These kinds of hemmoroids do not cause irritation and pain but they do cause massive bleeding on rectum and they are much serious medical condition than external.
They can not be treated with conservative therapy such as crèmes and hot baths.
Only cure is surgery!
That kind of surgery become routine these days and you should not
worry at all because you’ll be home the next day.

I sufferd with that problem for almost 13 years! I was too afraid to go to the doctor and I had a colonoscopy two years ago....it showed nothing and " miraculously" the bleeding stopped the day after my colonoscopy.
The bleeding returned again last year, worsened to the point where I passed out in a hotel room while traveling on business and I was hospitalized. I was told I was SEVERLY anemic and had to be given a unit of blood. Another colonoscopy was done and again,.....nothing.
I returned home, saw a "specialist" and he too found nothing! I was given all kinds of meds, took a barium x ray, another colonoscopy , two endoscopys and again nothing! Finally, I went to a doctor, who, ( get this ) examined me while I was bleeding, told me I had vey large hemorroids and said the PREPARATION for the colonoscopys probably shrank them so they weren't seen during the procedure.......
I had a new surgery that removed them, tucked some back in and fixed me up pretty good. I would discuss this with your doctor and make sure they look at your rear end PRIOR to performing a colonoscopy and when you're experiencing the bleeding......
I honestly can't believe they didn't know those preparations ( phospho soda, etc. ) that are used to clean your intestines and colon could shrink hemorroids..... I think both I and the insurance company got taken for a ride....I'm still paying off the bills!
Good luck and please get it looked at soon.
