Toilet issues

Okay, so lately, i have been going to the toilet and having a poo is becoming rather painful. Like um, the hole hurts just at the back and there is also quite a lot of blood both on the paper and in the toilet. Which made me think it was a cut or something. However, I havent had any blood in my underwear so could it be something more serious.

I am leaving for uni soon so pretty pointless going see my doctor and then having to go through it all again at uni. What are your thoughts. Am i worrying about nothing? What could it be?
It could just be the start of constipation - are you forcing it out or anything? Has anything changed in your diet lately? That really can't be good, whatever it is. If it's not constipation, you might want to try washing it and applying Sudocrem for a couple of days.

Get to the doctors straightaway, no matter if your going to go to uni soon.

You need to get this checked out, because things like this are really serious.

It could be a whole heap of different things, and its likely its just something minor, but its still best to get to your doctors.

Piles.
Doctors should be able to see you either the day you ring up, or the next. If they can't, they are a really badly run practice. Go to your local NHS Direct.
go, even if you need to say its an emergency then do it. no on here is qualified to say what it is but it could be serious..or it may be nothing.
this could be very serious, or it could not but if it is you need to know now!! go to the doctors!!!!!!
Sounds like Anal Fissure.

Yes, it's common for hemorrhoids (piles) to bleed. If it is piles, then get some cream from the chemist and that should clear it up pretty quickly.
Going to the doctors is probably a good idea but if you cant be persuaded then eat more fibre and drink more water so going to the toilet is not as much of a strain.

The anally knowledgeable Yahooey says you don't need to go to the doctor. As a couple of people have already said, it's piles/haemorrhoids. Eat more fibre and get some haemorrhoid cream and you'll be fine reasonably quickly.

The anally knowledgeable Yahooey has spoken.
My darling mother and an very guy I know both had this problem, use anusol or preperation something.. it goes in and around your bum. I really doubt you need to go to the doctors, just get yourself some cream and some bran flakes

Yes it is...I have the same problem as u...It hurts like anything when I poo and a lump forms and it bleeds...Try anusol and also eat lots of fibre and drink plenty of water. And most importantly, go to the doctor!
