Patient's question:
Previously, I had gastritis and was on a four-drug therapy, which I stopped four days ago. My bowel movements have been irregular. The day before yesterday, I didn't have a bowel movement, but the day before yesterday, I had three bowel movements, which were thick and came out one by one. Yesterday, I had a small amount of stool that looked like a sheep's dung but was much larger. Today, I had two bowel movements. There's a lump at my anus, and when I have a bowel movement, it feels like the lump bursts open, causing pain. There's blood on the toilet paper, and the amount of blood has been a bit more these past few days. The second bowel movement had some blood on the surface, but not much. Since yesterday, I've been waiting for a while after finishing a bowel movement, and my anus has been throbbing in pain. I occasionally feel some stomach pain. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned, blood in urine, bright red anus with a swollen mass, is primarily considered a case of hemorrhoids.Recommendations:
Apply hemorrhoid cream locally. If symptoms do not improve, oral medication should be taken for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet, and eat more vegetables and fruits. In severe cases, surgery may be required for treatment.
In addition, during the treatment of gastritis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet while keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of gastritis.
