well my friend it sounds like you are constipated. and on top of that probably have a hemorrhoid yes. that would account for any visible red blood on the stool or in the toilet water after you have a bowel movement. while i applaud your devotion to greek yogurt i agree it's probably wise to cut back from 8-12 containers per day. eating excessive amounts of dairy products can indeed cause constipation. if you manage your constipation you can avoid further trouble from hemorrhoids. first you need to make sure you're drinking plenty of water each day. second eat a fiber-rich diet that includes a sizable portion of minimally cooked plant foods. in the short term you can take an over-the-counter stool softener (not laxative) such as docusate sodium. please do not do anything radical like a bowel cleanse. it's not necessary and can disrupt the natural flora of your gut which are important for your immune system. just read up on constipation using the link above and you should find your problems resolving within a week or two. wishing you well! let me first start by saying i am not a doctor just your fellow webmd follower and i have had crohns disease for 12 years and know a little something about bowel movements. two important questions: my first question is: is the blood red or black? red blood means there is irritation either from a hemorrhoid or rectal bleeding which generally is not concerning. it either means you need to start drinking more water and/or taking stool softeners. you usually can tell if you need more water by bleeding and large hard stools. my next question would be: if the blood is black or the stool is tarry this is where you need to see a doctor. this means there is bleeding up high in the colon or intestine a colposcopy is highly recommended. i suspect what you are feeling is a large hemorrhoid when you feel inside. again i hate to say it but see a doctor and/or stick to extra water stool softeners and continue with you yogurt as this will "balance" you. i had this problem and it turned out to be a hemorrhoid. my doctor recommended benefiber which is taste free and it actually worked. <link>
my bowel movement my stool is so hard it hurts at a 10 pain level. there is blood right after not much but a little. this happens every bowel movement i have had i stopped eating a lot of greek yogurt thinking that may help because it started when i started eating almost 8 to 12 containers a day. i feel like it is on the right side inside my anal cavity i have put my finger up there to check. it feels like something is there. what could this be i was thinking its bleeding because my bowel movents are so huge and hard and sometimes look like big like rocks what could this be other then a hemorrhoid?
