How much is too much? (rectal bleeding) TMI ALERT
Sorry, this is totally embarrassing to have to ask...
The short question is--how much blood is too much when it's coming from your butt?
Longer version--I have internal and external hemorrhoids. Generally, they don't give me too much fuss.... If I get constipated, I'll have a little blood on my poop, but otherwise, a little pain when they're "visiting" and that's it. Lately, though, multiple times, it's been more--like turning the water red enough that I wipe multiple times to make sure I'm not getting my period. And it burns like he!! when I wipe--I use super-sensitive baby wipes, and I want to cry when it's time to poop, because it stings so bad to wipe, but regular TP wasn't getting the job done. I haven't been constipated in weeks; my poops are very soft.
So, how much is too much?
