Dante, It sounds like you have hemmrhoids. But, any time you have rectal bleeding, it's best to get checked out by a doctor. Glad you have taken the initiative to try to find out why it's happening. Cathy

We you constipated, or tend to have dry stools? You could have jsut gotten a little tear of something on your anus. I use petroleum jelly on my anus to help when it seems chapped like that. Plus you might try a mild laxative if you think that is the problem. I use glycerin suppositories. They sound nasty, but work really well and mild too. The aren't voilent, they jsut seem to soften and help it move for me. Let me know how you make out if you try them, or just how you are doing buddy.

Matt if you tend to constipation you need to add fiber therapy to your daily routine to help take care of the constipation. Glycerin suppositories are fine for occaisional constipation but you need to work and taking care of the cause of the constipation. Also the bleeding still needs to be checked out by the doc for both you and the original poster. You cannot self diagnose rectal bleeding no matter now minor it is.
