Hello sir please go through my article What are hemorrhoids? ? Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum. They can cause itching and pain. Sometimes they can also make you bleed during a bowel movement. In some cases, you can see or feel hemorrhoids around the outside of the rectum. In other cases, you cannot see them because they are hidden inside the rectum (figure 1). Should I see a doctor or nurse? ? You should see a doctor or nurse if you have any bleeding or if your bowel movements look like tar. Bleeding could be caused by something other than hemorrhoids, so you should have it checked out. If you do have hemorrhoids, your doctor or nurse can suggest treatments. But there some steps you can try on you your own first. What can I do to keep from getting more hemorrhoids? ? The most important thing you can do is to keep from getting constipated. You should have a bowel movement at least a few times a week. When you have a bowel movement, you also should not have to push too much. Plus, your bowel movements should not be too hard. Being constipated and having hard bowel movements can make hemorrhoids worse. Here are some steps you can take to avoid getting constipated or having hard stools: ?Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. They have fiber, which helps to increase bowel movements. ?Take fiber powders, wafers, or pills. You should get 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day. ?Take medicines called stool softeners such as docusate sodium (sample brand names: Colace, Dulcolax) or bulk-forming laxatives. Bulk-forming laxatives include psyllium seed (sample brand names: Metamucil, Konsyl), methylcellulose (sample brand name: Citrucel), polycarbophil (sample brand name: FiberCon), and wheat dextran (sample brand name: Benefiber). These medicines increase the number of bowel movements you have. They are safe to take and they can prevent problems later. What can I do to reduce my symptoms? ? Some people feel better if they soak their buttocks in 2 or 3 inches of warm water. You can do this up to 2 to 3 times a day for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not add soap, bubble bath, or anything to the water. There are also medicines that you can get without a prescription (table 1). They are usually creams or ointments that you rub on your anus to relieve pain, itching, and swelling. Some hemorrhoid medicines come in a capsule (called a suppository) that you put inside your rectum. Others come in a cream that comes in a bottle with a nozzle that you put inside your rectum. It is OK to try these medicines. But do not use medicines that have hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) for more than a week, unless your doctor or nurse approves. What if the self-care steps do not work? ? If you still have symptoms after trying the steps listed above, you might need treatments to destroy or remove the hemorrhoids. One popular treatment is called "rubber band ligation. For this treatment, the doctor ties tiny rubber bands around the hemorrhoids. A few days later the hemorrhoids shrink and fall off. The doctor can also use lasers, heat, or chemicals to destroy hemorrhoids. But if none of these options works, there is always surgery to remove the hemorrhoids.

Causes: Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus that can be painful, itchy, and can sometimes bleed (figure 1). Painless rectal bleeding with a bowel movement is a common symptom of hemorrhoids. Bright red blood typically coats the stool or blood may drip into the toilet or stain toilet paper. Suggestion: Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. Bathe or shower daily to cleanse the skin around the anus. Decrease straining with bowel movements. Increase fiber in the diet with supplements such as Metamucil, Benefiber, or foods such as prunes. Avoid sitting on the toilet too long.

Hi. For about a month or two. I've been worried if I am pregnant because I read a lot of theories online about how vaginal sex is not the only way to become pregnant. I do not feel I am but I do not want to decieve myself. I recently had anal sex with my boyfriend without a condom on October 5th (he does not have any STDs). He said he felt himself, ejaculate a little inside but quickly pulled out and covered his penis. He saw online about how its possible to become pregnant by the semen dripping from the rectum into the vagina. However, I have gotten my period monthly since then and it is now the end of November. During that time though, I have been having some complications. Nothing serious but still curious. I have been gassy a lot with gas pains and having trouble using the bathroom, however it recently stopped and calmed down. These problems started happening after and while I was food poisoned. The food poisoning happened a week or two after I did the anal sex. During that time, I have been taking benefiber and other medication to use the bathroom normally and now I feel more normal again. At random times, I had also felt nauseous, it did not happen all the time. But I would not want to eat or drink much. One day, my dad gave me some nasal spray because he suspects I may have a sinus issue. Since when he was younger, he always felt nauseous. And it was really bad till the doctor told him it was a sinus problem. Ever since I took the nasal spray, the nausecousness stopped. Sometimes I am scared of eating, because when I eat too much I feel overwhelmed or a little weird. I have lost some of my appetite, or sometimes it does not take a lot of food to make my stomach full. Sometimes even when I haven't eaten yet, I feel full. It could be that now, I get nervous while I eat because of what I have been experiencing. Right now. I am supposed to be getting my period this week. And the signs already showed up just like earlier this month and last month where I am getting acne and my breasts are itchy. The only difference this time is that, my breasts feel moist or a little sticky. I do not see anything coming out of it. I am not sure what has been happening to my body lately. It is like nonstop ever since I was food poisoned. My mom had also eaten that same food and got food poisoned and now she has been having nonstop digestion and stomach problems like me and similar issues like me as well. I do not know if these are signs or symptoms of pregnancy. Or if my anxiety and fear of becoming pregnant is causing my body to act a little abnormal. Because becoming pregnant, would be one of the worst things to happen right now as it is not the right time. And with very strict parents, I cannot go out and get a test. I do not think it makes sense that I am pregnant because I have gotten my regular menstrual cycle at the time it was supposed to come. Heavy like it usually is and painful and lasted the same amount of days that it usually is for years. The only thing is the second time I got my period while this was happening, I passed more blood clots than I usually do. Not a whole lot but there were a few, compared to my last menstrual cycle that was a little lighter but still heavy and painful like usual. I have been constantly gargling things about pregnancy, about people who did not know they were pregnant, or had their period during their pregnancy, or people who got pregnant from anal sex. And I have just been so confused about whats going on. So I do not know if that just amped up my emotions and anxiety to make my body act a little off or act as if I am pregnant when i'm not. This has been happening for almost 2 months at least. I have been more calm, with a peace of mind that I am not pregnant with the help of some friends and family members who actually do not even think its necessary for me to take a test. However, I just want to bury this for sure because this is the calmest I have ever felt and I want this to be gone for good. And never think about this ever again. Most of the issues I've had, had subside now its just the weirdness with my breasts feeling little sticky or moist, which I am not sure if that has anything to do with my period coming this week. And overall, when I get nervous or anxious in the back of my head about pregnancy, it triggers my body to act off. Every issue I was experiencing, behind the scenes, I was very anxious and stressed about being pregnant even before these issues popped up. It always starts off with this anxious feeling creeping up, shortness of breath, heart beating a tad bit fast, I start feeling a little hot, can feel it in my throat sometimes and then I do not really want to eat much when this happens. I do not know if this is related to pregnancy with nausea or morning sickness, or that my anxiety about it all caused this. I have mostly been sticking with the anxiety answer based on what has been happening to me because it just does not make sense how I would be pregnant. I just need some clarity about what has been happening to me. I have been feeling really great lately. But I am not sure what all of this is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much and I apologize for the long query.

Anal sex doesn't cause pregnancy. Ever. Neither oral sex or other types. Vaginal sex is the only way. And other than that IVF and IUI.
