Hemaroids

**lilchef14** · 03-23-2005, 12:19 AM

Not quite sure where this question should go, but it does have to do with gear, so i guess I'll ask it here. A few weeks ago I started to **** blood. Kinda freaked at first, but them realized it was just hemaroids. So I went and go the cream and it started to work for alittle bit. But its been about 3 weeks now and im still poopin alot of blood. I'm thinking about going to the doctor in a few days, but what do yall think I should do? From what I have read I need to go and get checked out, but wondering if there is anything else I can do. Thanx alot for the consideration yall.

DOCTOR ASAP. I dont mean to scare you, but I dont think you should wait much longer.

**lilchef14** · 03-23-2005, 12:32 AM

Aight thanx... thats what i thought... not sure what he's gona have me do though. I know its from squating and deadlifts... ive been staying away from those, so i should be healing. Guess something must be really wrong then.

**Juddman** · 03-23-2005, 12:34 AM

Only one way to find out...better to get this taken care of asap. Uncertainty is the worst condition IMO.

**BDTR** · 03-23-2005, 12:35 AM

check the color of the blood.

bright red = safe
dark blood = bad

Also, are you sure it's hemaroids?

**Lozgod** · 03-23-2005, 12:36 AM

Yeah, I had bright red blood, I went to the doc, got a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy done to be safe, but they never found out what it was. I didn't have hemmorhoids. Go figure.

It goes between... the nights i have alot of sex or lift heavy, on the darker side. The others its brighter... ya im sure, its all bulged in acouple areas and the cream helped alittle.

**Juddman** · 03-23-2005, 12:39 AM

Blood in your stool related to sex eh? Exactly what kind of sex are you having there?

On the other hand, never mind I don't think I want to know!

I have rhoids (the hem kind, not the ster kind), had them half my life - 17 years. Blood comes and goes just depending probably more on the size of your stool and how hard it is than anything. I've never noticed a relation to sex, but then I'm straight and married, so I of course seldom have sex...

I would DEFINITELY get it checked ASAP at a doctor. Need to play it safe with something like that. If left unchecked the hemorhoids can become really irritable and cause you to become violent - rhoid rage.

I had this problem after a heavy squatting session a couple years ago. 2 of them popped out about the size of walnuts! Hurt like hell and bled all over. Went to the DR and they decided to do a hemorroidectomy and cut them bad boys off! Wasnt too bad, but hurt for a couple weeks.(15 stitches in my bunghole will do that) And couldnt lift for about 2 mos. Id definately get it checked out. Good luck bro!

**lilchef14** · 03-23-2005, 08:53 AM

Lol, im straight thank you very much.

**lilchef14** · 03-23-2005, 08:56 AM

Cumming can be intense... kinda like a good squat... lol. It all depends on if i lifted that day too..

Hopefully I can go to the doc today.

That is correct, I had internal bleeding do to a tear in my esophogus and threw up blood and passed out. The blood looked almost like coffee grinds. When I went to the emergency from I had to get a transfusion b/c I had been internally bleeding for days.

So, yes if the blood is dark almost brown you have a serious problem but if it is fresh and red it is just you a$$hole on fire.

Quick surgery and 2 pints later I was cool, it took like a month or two to get my blood levels up to par. It was a freak accident, pretty crazy...one second I am barfing in my toilet then I am waking up on the bathroom floor pissing on myself, when I tried to get up I fell down. Good thing I had a roomate who called 911 or else who knows?

**Juddman** · 03-23-2005, 10:58 AM

No joke..glad to hear you're ok though bro.

**lilchef14** · 03-23-2005, 11:18 AM

Wow, thats nutz... ****, cant get in to the doc. till 2morrow.

Ill keep you guyz posted.

Oh! if anyone else has imput on this... plz share

**RUballs0514** · 03-23-2005, 11:23 AM

dark blood could also mean an ulcer. i just had one and it suck major a$$. but if you're sure its rhoids get the meds from the doc

**Juddman** · 03-23-2005, 11:24 AM

Yea see..it can mean different things...a few different opinions going here. Thats why I think its best to just see the doc and find out your own personal problem.

**lilchef14** · 03-23-2005, 03:33 PM

Thats the plan, going 2morrow at 1:15... ill keep yall updated

Its funny you mention this because my close friend (an ER resident) just had a similar case come in yesterday. It seems that this is becoming more common, where due to excess vomitting/wretching you get what is called a "Mallory Weis" tear. This is no joke, and is a very serious complication, most oftenly seen with alcohol intoxication.

Just though I would give all you a little more info about ceasar's case.

Everyone has given you great advice. As BDTR originally stated, the common rule of thumb is whether the blood is a dark brown/back color or is bright red. In fact there are actually three classifications...whether it is black/brown, maroon in color or bright bright red. This color scheme narrows down where the bleed is occuring (ie above or below the splenic flexure or derived from a superficial vessel down below). Regardless, see your doctor as soon as possible as everyone has mentioned. Good luck.

That is exactly what it was and I puked while I was at a bar a few days before I passed out.
