25 years old and afraid to use the restroom

[JD_Blue]

Uggh, Im trying to get better, and for awhile I was. I posted a little while ago about of blood on the toliet paper when I wiped. But it was red, there was a good pit of it though. I feel ridges on the right side of my um, 'opening' that might be hemorrhoids or piles. Last night it started bleeding a good bit again. Nothing today but it just doubles down on my worry because sometimes my stool is pretty soft. Its rarely tarry, maybe once a week its that gross stuff? And its not always super dark when it is. And granted the times I had tarry stool the most was over the Christmas holidays when I had a lot of dark chocolate and ate like crap lol. Still now whenever I use the restroom at just 25 years old Im terrified of the stool, especially as I eat a lot of spicy and latin food that seems to come out softer a lot.
And if the stools fine I worry about those ridges on the opening that occasionally bleed even if it is red blood. Then occasionally when I go running and push myself I can get a pain in my lower left abdomen, not always and has just happened a couple of times. Its just certain things that pile on and make me worry. As Ive posted before I lost my dad to cancer and now every symptom freaks me out and I feel bad about that.

I'll probably talk to my doctor about it next time I visit but I have a female doctor so I'm a bit embarrassed to bring this up with her even though she's been a good doctor.

Doctors are used to hearing all sorts of problems. All you have to mention is the blood when you wipe. Then she will give you her opinion of what she thinks might be going on. I am still sticking with the piles. Like I did from day 1. Have had them before. And they can bleed if we wipe too hard. That area can be very sensitive. The skin can easily tear. This has been a worry for you for a while now. I would have got some cream at the chemist. Think I suggested that on day 1 as well. That probably would have cleared it up long before now. Speak to the doctor. But don't be surprised if all you end up with is cream to put on it.

Thanks, didn't want to come off as ignoring your earlier advice, its just while I felt a small lump there it didn't feel as big and didn't bleed again until I made that post. Will get some cream and ask my doctor about it as well

The best thing you can do is add more fiber to your diet. You won't have these butt issues as often maybe not at all.
