Ms.Moon 14 Report post Posted February 11 Sorry you guys. My period ended two days ago why is my perineum hurting. I have what appears to be an external hemorrhoid. I've been like this for years obgyn visits out the wazoo for the uterine fibroids that came back last year. I was doing so well. I am so scared because I thought hey the swelling and pain was due to the Cottonelle wipes and the swelling and pain around my anus has not returned since I stopped using them now this. I don't have a STI I'm a regular blood donor they check for that. I woke up before the sun with this anxiety screaming at me. I have an appointment with my doctor for next Wednesday and I am terrified. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 235 Report post Posted February 11 I started having pain in my rectum in September 2019 (I had a virus) when I went to the bathroom and it bled a bit. I read I should try A&D ointment. It worked for a while and then it came back. I called my internal medicine physician and he examined me and could find nothing. It persisted and he told me to call my GI physician. I called his office and I have been going there for around 15 years when I had my esophageal ulcer (which was very painful by the way). I called on a Thursday and I was having a scope on Monday. It turned out to be a hemorrhoid. I had the scope November 30, 2019 and I still get some pain. My GI physician told me once that anal cancer is pretty rare.

I have my annual at the obgyn nobody has said anything to me about it. How were you diagnosed I am going to my GP next Wednesday and I don't know what to expect.

MARC 235 Report post Posted February 11 I remember when I was 25, which was quite sometime ago, I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, the entire tissue was drenched with blood and when I looked in the bowl, the water was all blood red. I had an immediate meltdown and had myself dead and buried. It turned out to be just a hemorrhoid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
