Question
Hello doctor,
I am 18 years old this year. I had blood in the stool once and the next time the blood was completely gone, but a bit constipated and a little stinging when pressing the anus. So the doctor asked me if I had blood in the stool with anal pain? Do I have hemorrhoids or just normal constipation? Thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have a bloody bowel movement with anal pain? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Hemorrhoids and constipation are related, long-term constipation will cause hemorrhoids. The determination of hemorrhoids or not must be examined by a gastroenterologist. You can see for yourself if the mucosal mass prolapses when you defecate. If there is a mass that prolapses when you have a bowel movement, it is likely that you have hemorrhoids.
Currently, you should adjust your diet: Eat a lot of fiber (green vegetables, fruits), drink a lot of water to avoid constipation. If blood in the stool persists and the anus is still painful, see a doctor.
You need to go to the doctor immediately if you have recurrent bloody stools or black stools, abdominal pain.
If you still have questions about bloody stools with anal pain, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
