Something coming out of my behind,help???

Well I had hemmorhoids when I was pregnant with my 2nd child.I got some cream that took it right away.Now when I strain to go to the bathroom,I notice this thick long white thing coming out.I did research and all I can find is pinworms.Thats not it because I do not itch.And,it does not hurt.My Dr. says it might be from my hemmorhoid or a prolapsed rectum.I do not have a prolapsed rectum,I would know if I did.Can some1 help me on this.It scares me cause I dont know what it could be.Thanks!

Thanks so much for your post.I thought it had to be a vein or a piece of skin but I wasnt sure.All I know is when I look at it it scares me.But,I also remembering having this same thing come out...I would say 3-4 years ago.Now I am noticing it again.I guess if it were serious I would have been sick.So,it must be just skin from having hemmorhoids.Thanks again!

Dear Sunshine,
You have a prolapsed hemorhoid.  Hemroids are just swollen veins.  Sounds exactly like you have an old, dead vein.  It will slough off all by itself.  But you've got to stop straining.  People strain when they're constipated.  Constipation is when your body gets dried out.  Drying out is caused by some medications and some vitamins, and also by not enough water, not enough fiber, not enough exercise.  If you have not been able to go for more than a week, you may need to squirt a couple tubes of "Baby Lax" in there to get things moving again.  But even if this strangeness goes away, I would still make an ordinary appointment with the doctor for a stool test, a blood test for anemia, and a physical exam.
Hope this helps.

No this has nothing to do with my stool.Everytime I go to the bathroom it comes out.It looks like a piece of skin.But I don't have any idea where it could of come from.The only thing I can think of is it is something to do with having internal hemorhoids.I don't know.Thanks for posting!

Do you mean your stool is white? Or was it something else? White stools can be a sign of liver problems, I think you need a complete evaluation to find out what this is. Did they do a stool sample? Have you seen a proctologist?
