What is Causing Blood and Pain during Bowel Movements? What Posted: 03-02-06 15:12pm
Hi,
I am very concerned about a problem that I
have. For the past few months I have had
anal bleeding which is painful only during
bowl movements. The blood can be bright or
slightly darker red ,but the amount of
blood increses each time I pass a stool,
leaving alot of blood in the toilet bowl.
I can see small cuts in the skin around
the area, so I don't think that the
problem is internal (I hope!!). Can you
please give me some idea of what this
problem could be, and any remedies that
you can suggest to help would be great.
Many Thanks, Becky.

Anal bleeding can be caused by hemorrhoids
or anal mucosa/skin fissures. You can
visit an abdominal surgeon to determine
the real diagnosis of your symptoms,
though. Balsams containing antibiotics,
antiseptics and anti-inflammatory
medicines are generally used for local
treatment of such conditions.
