there are many small vessels that line the rectum and around the anal sphincter. it is very common for one of them to get scraped and bleed for any number of reasons. no big deal. it will heal up fine. might bleed every time you take a bowel movement for a few days. a hemorrhoid is an enlargement of one of these vessels. it becomes like a little blister or bubble on your anal sphincter or just inside. those hurt and when they bleed, you will get way more than a few drops of blood.
any ruptured little vessel will have itching or burning. there are a lot of nerve endings in that area so any trauma will be felt be it just a scraped vessel or a hemorrhoid. regardless preparation H will help either way!
If you don't feel like sticking a tube or a suppository up in there, they have wipes that are cooling with aloe by prep h also....if it hurts when you "flex" ie cough, laugh, finishing move while with your partner or make a bowel movement than it's probably the h-roids. The wipes will only do so much if they become worse and are internal as well as external.
thanks a lot! It's not that bad then, because it doesn't hurt and I thought it was a little weird when there was blood on it. Alright time to max out on squat tonight!
