sharp pain and blood at the opening of the rectum during BM Posted: 12-13-07 05:01am
I am 22 and I went to the bathroom to use
number 2 and I had a lot of trouble
pushing it out and when the escrement was
coming out I felt a sharp pain at the
opening of the rectum. It hurt quite a
bit. After I finished I saw that there was
blood in the toilet water, on the paper,
and on the outer part of the escrement.
The escrement was quite large and hard and
maybe it could have torn me? My rectum
hurt for about an hour after I had the BM.
The only liquid I drink is water, but I
have noticed that I had not been drinking
very much water lately. Ever since this
Sunday everytime I had a BM I had quite a
bit of pain when the escrement was coming
out and there was also blood. Today I made
a concious effort to drink more water and
I went to the bathroom a few hours ago and
it still hurt, but there was no more blood
anywhere. Also the escrement was much more
softer and of normal size then before.
This happened to me in October as well,
but it went away after 3 weeks. What could
it be?

According to your description, rectal
bleeding could be due to the persistence
of hemorrhoids at the rectal opening. Hard
stools mechanically damage hemorrhoids and
can causes rectal bleeding. You can keep
good hygiene of the anal region and to eat
more food that contains cellulose fibers
(vegetables and fruits). Cellulose fibers
will make the stools softer.
