Very mild hemorrhoids
I have colitis which has been in remission for several years (most recent colonoscopy in October 2023). Seeing any blood even a speck freaks me out.
It is now a month since I first noticed small streaks of blood in my stool. I’ve been taking Pramoxine on and off and took Anucort for 10 days and treating it as Hemmorhoid as which I’ve had in the past.
The situation is much better. I don’t see blood on the stool or any drops of blood in the toilet paper. I see though very small smidges of red on the toilet paper after a bowel movement. I don’t have pain. Or any colitis symptoms.
I’ve read that Rubber Banding and other recital interventions have side effects (mostly bleeding) so I don’t want to do something that risks things being far worse than they are. However, the OTC creams and Sitz baths although have improved me the minor symptoms remain.
I want to see a stop to even mild smudges of red on my toilet paper. It’s distressing and annoying.
What do you suggest I do? See a colorectal surgeon or try and be patient and wait it out?
