Rectal bleeding for the past five years with large swelling around
the opening - probably hemorrhoids and not corectal cancer because of
my age.
Most recently, colicky cramps coming every few days (sometimes a few
weeks apart) in my lower mid to right intestines. These cramps
seemed to have started about the time I started trying to come up
with enough courage to go see a doctor about the bleeding. They are
probably a result of gas because I worry and probably am swollowing
air as I get agitated thinking cancer due to the bleeding.
If I am right and its a Thrombosed <sp> hemorrhoids, it wont go away
with self treatment? I am eating correctly.... If it's something
other than that - well....the thought does scare me......
