Title: Rectocele and piles/fissures
Post by: jessieblue on March 18, 2017, 12:27:12 PM

Hi everyone.  Does anyone else have any problems with bleeding from piles or fissures alongside their rectocele?  Had another experience of causing little tears this morning along with some blood on paper.  Have had it before but I thought I had sorted it with diet and suchlike.  Have some proctosedyl supps to use so will do but it just always worries me that there is a need to get investigated for colorectal problems like cancer.  I totally do not want to go for colonoscopy if I can avoid it.  The bowel prep terrifies me.  Doctors havent recommended that yet either but the sight of blood always freaks me out and the difficulty going when its a bad day.

Obviously I am not a doctor, but fresh blood anal fissure piles I would not worry.

Dark blood no piles I would worry.

But obvs get checked out.
