Hemorrhoid question?
I recently went to the doctor and he explained to me that I have an external hemorrhoids for sure. He had given me a cream and suppository, and told me to let him know if I bled within 5 days of using this medicine. Well I bled twice, but it was more so a streak of blood in the bowel itself which I’ve really never seen before, and a little bright blood on the toilet paper. Now the reason why I saw him is because I became really constipated for a couple of days, and the hemorrhoid just got a lot more swollen, so that’s when I said I need to see a doctor. The cream worked like a charm and shrunk my external one drastically. But until recently there’s been very little blood in the water of the toilet, but some in the feace it self like a streak. Now I am over-weight, and all I do at my job is stand up for hours. What should I do? Is the blood streak in my feace just my hemorrhoid? Could it have been the suppository that caused the bleeding?

If it was only a streak in the feces it was probably from the hemorrhoid. It is probably fine. I would suggest a high diet in fiber and or a daily fiber laxative. If your stools are tarry and black or dark green it could actually be blood in the stool, your doctor can send home a collection kit if you are worried about it and return the sample to the doctor for testing, but I highly suspect you just need more fiber in your diet and more water. Good luck! Hope this helps.

Nope, suppositories themselves dont cause bleeding.

Time to go back to your doctor. Your hemorrhoid could be bleeding, or you could have something else going on. Anytime you see blood in your stool or urine, you should see your doctor ASAP. Your doctor may suggest surgery for your hemorrhoid to stop the bleeding and discomfort.

Suppositories don’t cause bleeding. Most probably the hemorrhoid is still there, you just don’t feel (or see) it anymore.
You overweight and working conditions are making it very hard to treat the hemorrhoid. Constipation, overweight and standing/sitting for long time – causing pressure on the veins – is the best "cocktail" to develop hemorrhoids.
You should consider to lose weight, since this depends on you. Working conditions it’s harder to change. So, the next thing you can do is to strengthen the veins. This is possible with Rue Care Oil – it treats the hemorrhoid, stops bleeding and strengthens the veins.
