Please... Im sorry if its too long letter..please
Hello Mark,
first off, it sounds to me like you have a perfectly well functioning bowels and many people would actually envy you on how regular your bowel movements are. That being said, I'm not trying to brush off all the additional worries you have. It depends somewhat on your age, but chances are pretty high that blood you've seen after BM was caused by just simple small blood vessel rupturing because you were straining too much. The second common reason for this to happen is hemorrhoids - internal hemorrhoids would give you feeling as if something is still left after BM, so definitely the best thing you can do regarding this is seeing your physician.
I couldn't help but notice how much attention and anxiety this whole situation is causing you, is there a chance for you to see a counselor and address this problem separately?
Wish you all the best,
Nikols
Hi,
Thank you for your blessing!
First off, even in case you have internal hemorrhoids - and even that's doubtful since you didn't say you're uncomfortable in the area when you are not on the toilet - the condition is both manageable and treatable.
But before you see a doctor about hemorrhoids, you really would get more help from visiting a counselor, mainly to address your fears. Thinking that some organ/ body part isn't functioning right or thinking you have some condition or other is the typical symptom of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is basically fear and your body responds to it like it would if you were face to face with a real danger , like car heading toward you. The problem with anxiety is, it never stops on its own and your body is stressed out all the time, while your mind is only focused on the body.

I'm glad I can help you understand what's going on. Anxiety and panic disorders can be very tricky because they will make you think that something is wrong with your heart or that you'll get out of breath... in almost any situation you'll think that the worst is going to happen.
To get properly diagnosed aand to finally get the right treatment for anxiety or panic disorder, you'll most likely need to get a refferal to psychologist or psychiatrist - depending on what your physician thinks is the best for you.
Hi, i was shocked when u i saw this thread again on my email... It was almost 6months ago :-) the time i posted this was when i was terribly stress and i got anxiety, believe me i run into the emergency room because i had pannic attack that i cant breath and my heart beats too fast like it wants to comeout pf my chest and its the worst feeling like air cannot pass through your mouth..it lasted for a couple of minutes before the palpitations stops.i had ecg,stress test,and other test cause i was worried maybe i got heart failure..and everything came out normal..aside from stress..yeah indeed i got anxiety..health anxiety.this kind of anxiety trigeers a person to get worried when he/she notice something wrong on his body.checking forums sometimes worsen the anxiety cause u probaly will see lots of negative comments from there,and u get worried more..try to get a good sleep,dont think too much and always drink plenty of water...it helps get rid of anxiety, good and enough sleep is very important.then regarding that thing on my anus,its still here, but seems like it became small,i dont thin of it anymore, i avoid straining during bowel movements,we have specific or constant bowel routine sont let it be disturb or change..if u always poop 6am in the morning, do it everyday your body will know its routine.if u eont feel like pooping,dont poop, just go if u feel u have to.li dont feel any oain or bleedig or itch,i had ot since when i was small so i guess if its exactly thesame thing that u have then hopefully its just nirmal..i got normal bowel movement everyday, i drink plenty of liquids...and also dont eat too much fiber, i tried eating one big plate of fruits and vegetable but i endeed passing gass and bloated for a couple of days,i found out that there is enough fiber consumption per meal..and lastly, dont think too much.just ignore what keep bothering ur mind..thats my problem before thats why i got anxiety.i still have anxiety now but im in control of it.llmy worst enemy is stress.i feel lots of things and i thinks its gonna make me sick when i am too stress...:-) so thats it..just live our lives to the fullest and enjoy it.everything will be fine :-)
