Hello everyone, I am male 24 . From the last whole month I have been getting blood in my stool. And these are not just patches of blood, thr quantity is a lot. And I started taking medicines consulting genral doctors but it didn't stopped. Now I have changed diet, increased my water intake, lotsbof fibre and all..the stool is now soft but the blood hasn't stopped. Recently I started getting pain while passing stool, and when I checked the area around my anus was swollen up..inside and outside both.. I don't know what to do.can someone help me with this..

This could be anything from piles or fissure or both as they cause slight bleeding as your bleeding is more significant I would go back to doctors ASAP hope you feel better soon x

I cannot relate to bloody stool, but the swelling and painful anus always hurts me ,as well as pain during and following bowel movement are my nemesis. I have developed a damaged pudendal nerve. I cannot ever sit down. , which limits my life immensely. I went to. a Dr whose specialty is the anus. She did prescribe a gel application which had”nitro” in the name, but all of info has been rubbed off and don’t know the actual product. That gel definitely helps my soreness. Have you had a colonoscopy? That shows the problems in your bowel and may disclose bleeding ulcer or something else

Hi there did you develop prudential nerve from chronic constipation ? X

Maybe, I was in auto accident 23 yrs ago and developed severe arthritis below L5 in spine so I am not sure. The implications of this damaged nerve are not pleasant. What of this disease is pleasant?
