you have to. the only way that you can determine the source of your rectal bleeding is to have a medical provider examine you. it could be hemorrhoid or an anal fissure (a small tear of the anal ring). there are other causes of course but again this is going to take an exam. treatment will depend on the cause so having a definitive diagnosis first is essential. while this may be embarrassing for you it will not be for your medical provider. this is their job and they will get to the bottom of this problem for you (pun intended).
do i have hemorrhoids? . i am only 14 but i think i may have hemorrhoids. i’ve only bled three times right after i. well you know. there’s not a lot of blood not nearly enough to turn the water red. it is bright red blood though. it doesn’t hurt but i’m worried. do hemorrhoids go away by themselves? i don’t want to go to the doctor for something embarrassing like this but if i have to i will.
