Internal hemorrhoids very painful
I have internal hemorrhoids. I have a high fiber diet, use a sitting stool to prop my legs during bowel movements, take ibuprofen for pain, I use proctofoam as prescribed by my doctor, and stool softeners. I am still experiencing throbbing and stabbing pains in my rectum. I use a support cushion when I do sit, but often times I cannot even sit so I end up in bed for days. If I stand or laugh it still hurts. Sometimes I need to pass gas and it's excruciating. They have not prolapsed at all.

Hi dear if this bleed is not associated with pain than is generally due to piles and quantity of blood should be more. If this is associated with pain and quantity is less than this is due to fissure. At times there may be sigmoid colitis which leads to cramping lower abdominal pain and may cause passage of blood in stool. You should avoid constipation, as this is the cause for piles/ Fissure. it's better to get evaluated , a short scopy done to rule out the underline problem. Take salads in each diet. Take plenty of water. Get your self evaluated soon. Take care.
