haemrohoids and anal fissure hell!

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've had banding of haemrohoids and botox to an anal fissure 6 times now. My last opperation for this was last November. Since having it done I went from no pain to being in agony every day. I'm loosing a lot of blood when going to the toilet and some blood looks like blood clots, I sometimes even bleed when i go for a week and when I go to the toilet for a bowel movement blood is just running out. Where do people think the blood is coming from? I had a sigmoidscopy last week. He said I have 3 very swolen piles and its them bleeding but reading up I don't think piles would bleed so much. He said I don't have a fissure and he's going to do a proctogram x-ray on me. Done some research and it doesn't seem to link to see if I have a fissure. Can anyone enlighten me wether it will show one up? I can't live in pain like this. The pain im in doesn't feel like piles pain. It feels like when I've had fissure. I've had them for 11 years on and off so know what pain means what.

Any help and information greatly appreciated.

    could there be a connection between heavy bleeding and the sigmoidoscopy you had recently?

    IF YOU ARE UNDER THE CARE OF A GASTROENTEROLOGIST OR A COLON-rectal specialist, they should be able to detect the cause of bleeding.

      No, this had been going on ever since having the opperation back in November.

      I am seeing my surgeon for the proctogram appointment next Wednesday but he isn't a very nice consultant and has treat me very poorly and has told me that nothing is wrong, then he saw 3 swolen piles and told me he doesn't think I have a fissure.

      My question is would piles bleed so much? It's an awful lot of blood I'm loosing to the point that it's scaring me. I know my fissure bled a lot but as I've always had piles with a fissure I'm unsure how much they are supposed to bleed.

      Also when I'm stood im in agony, when I'm sat actually putting pressure on my piles there's hardly no pain which is just odd.

    i had internal hemorrhoids that were bleeding so bad the blood was streaming out of me. it made me chronically anemic and i had to be hospitalized and given blood because my blood was so low. how are you feeling? do you have pressure in your head? is it extremely exhausting moving or going up stairs? chronic anemia from the blood loss can also cause a rapid heart beat.

    also if your doctor isnt very nice you should really get another one. i was in the hospital for 4 days and they were able to tell me what was wrong with just a colonoscopy.

    I'm loosing blood when I I empty my bowels but doesn't always bleed if I haven't been for a few days. Lost quite a lot of blood last night. I can now feel the piles when I wipe which I couldn't before. Opening my bowels seem to enlarge them a lot.

    I feel very dizzy but I've recently started on some new tablets as I suffer from bad headache and one of the side effects in dizziness so maybe the tablets.

    I went to the doctors and said I wish to get a new consult, he said okay but this could take months and I loose all my appointments with my current one, he's treat me bad but I'm clinging on to the hope he will treat me. He has said he will put me in for another pile opperation. Not quite sure why I have to go for a proctogram so he can see me open my bowels he's supposed to be checking for a fissure. Just another test that makes me feel degraded but this will be the last test before he gets me back into surgery for my piles. But that could be weeks off knowing him.
