I just had a bowel movement and there is blood in my stool and on my paper when I wipe. Do you think it has broken through?

Question

Hello, For the past 2 days I have had a hemorrhoid. I know it's since an episode of constipation (I'm rarely constipated but I've been taking medication recently and I think it's created this)! I have had hemorrhoids in the past so I still had Preparation H and Anusol + cream. Yesterday when I wiped on my paper I had just a little blood, but this morning I'm stressing. It's more blood. What should I do? Could I try Venexxa? Please note that I take synthroid every day I called info santé for the bleeding, and they told me that if it gets worse or becomes abundant in the next few days to go see a doctor. But in the meantime, I'm wondering about Venexxa... thanks!

Good evening, I see that your question has been pending for several hours. I'm sorry about that. How have the last few hours been? Continue with the topical preparation you mentioned and gently pat the area with a paper moistened with tap water or hammamelis water, avoiding rubbing Good lifestyle habits such as eating high-fiber foods and staying well hydrated, as well as physical activity, can prevent hemorrhoids. here is a useful link: https://ressourcessante.salutbonjour.ca/condition/getcondition/hemorroides
