Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with hemorrhoids for about 15 years now. About a year and a half ago, I had a colonoscopy, and everything came back clean except for some stage 4 internal and external hemorrhoids.
So here’s the deal: a little spotting was expected, but for the last two days, things have gone south—I'm talking heavy bleeding every time I hit the bathroom. I started taking Detralex yesterday, but honestly, the paranoia is hitting hard. Like, okay, maybe it’s just the hemorrhoids, but what if it’s something else? Can things actually go sideways a full year after a totally clear colonoscopy, or god forbid, could it be coming from somewhere else in my GI tract? The blood itself is bright red and totally clear.

Ladies, quick question. I’ve been taking the 7-day placebo break on my 10 mg pill to trigger my period. Right after starting the break, I got this brown discharge that lasted the whole week and kept going for another three days. Then, on day four, some actual bleeding showed up and then just stopped. Now it's day five and I’m just spotting lightly—that heavy "period" flow I was expecting from the placebo hasn't happened at all. What's the move here? My endometrial lining was measured at about 12 mm during my last exam. I'm definitely not pregnant.

Starting a new thread here. I dealt with this exact same crazy bleeding issue about six years ago. After spending a solid year bouncing between different OB-GYNs, they finally figured out it was a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels. Everything was totally fine after my surgery—bleeding stopped, ovarian cysts cleared up, the whole nine yards. But then, about ten days ago, everything went south again. It turns out the tumor came back, though I'm still trying to figure out if that’s the sole culprit or if something else is messing with me.
