Disease description:

What should I do if my anus hurts and bleeds every time I defecate? Whenever I have internal heat, my stool becomes hard and large, causing anal bleeding. Alternatively, I often go several days without a bowel movement, and when I finally pass stool, it's large and leads to bleeding. What precautions should I take if my anus bleeds every time I have a bowel movement?

Be aware of conditions such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures if you experience rectal bleeding with every bowel movement. Patients should develop the habit of timely defecation and may reduce symptoms by sitting in warm water (sitz bath) each night before bed. Topical treatments such as hemorrhoid ointments or suppositories can also help alleviate symptoms. It is recommended that patients avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and instead consume more whole grains, vegetables, and drink plenty of water.
