Squats session caused bleeding....

[Hit_the_weightS]

Ok so today I done legs in the gym and killed it added 10kg to my max and went for 6 reps really pushed my self to the max, carried on killin it with barbell lunges, leg ext, and calfs.

When I got home I went to the toilet (for a shit) and there was quite a bit of blood not in the actual stool but like I bled after the stool came out, wasn't constipated or anything, strangely this time last year the same thing happened just not after a strenuous workout and my doc said it could be due to stress or straining when taking a dump.

I think it may have something to do with me lifting.

Please chime in with opinions, exp and knowledge on the matter I appreciate the posts

keep in mind, when somone pushes or pulles heavy weight there are bount go be blow blood vessles through out the body.
i've blown BV in my biceps. Its no big deal. (im not a docto)
so IF THE BLEEDING CONTINUES then its time to get the rectum explorded.

Thanks for the input guys

I definitely don't have hemeroids it's internal.

Also the blood was fresh not old looking.

Hemroids can happen on the inside of ur ass and on outside.

my guess is its hemoroids which causes what brownbrown said. the fact that you say the blood is 'fresh' confirms to me that it is hemoroids.

just imagine sharp things trying to get passed and scratching yourself up and causing bleeding.. that is what is essentially happening when you lift heavy. i have gotten hemmoroids a few times in the past couple years following a very heavy deadlift day. also if you strain when you have a bowel movement it will further make the problem worse. try not to strain when you lift and if that isn't possible then lessen the weight and the problem should fix itself ..

that and also hernia's are things we have to watch out for as lifters.. they are both extremely common for all of us

Update

Been to the toilet 3 times since I posted and no blood.
I'm thinking this was due to the heavy strain when lifting.

Also Steve could hemeroids still be there after a year cause I had this same bleeding this time last year?
If I do have hemeroids they are internal, how would I go about treating internal hemeroids?

yes they come and go.

you can treat them with some hemorroid creams but all in all you need to not strain so much as i said in my earlier post. there is a dude at my gym who gets on the smith rack and does like 500 pound squats and he strains and grunts like he is giving birth, he probably gets hemorroids a lot from all that straining.

try squatting with more control, less weight, and without straining yourself so much.

 

[die faster]

i had the same thing. i thought it was just from taking a wide shit from eating alot of oats. but now im thinking twice about it cause i have been lifting very heavy when this happened.

^^^ if you haven't had hemmorroids as a lifter then you weren't lifting hard enough... I am being facetious but that would make a great t-shirt slogan with a picture of a lifter squatting and straining 405 in the pic lol

I had bleeding that got progressively worse. It would go away for weeks, then be back, and I'd have bright red water in the toilet. Finally went to the doctor to get the news that I was dying of colon cancer, but it was just internal hemorroids. In a lot of people they just don't heal on their own. I needed a scope anyway, so while he was in there he put rubber bands around them and choked them off. They shrivel up and fall off and leave a little scar. A bit uncomfortable for a few days, but no more bleeding. Internal hemorroids don't have any sensory nerves, so you can do the rubber band trick. External hemoroids are the ones you can feel pain and itching, so a rubber band would send you though the roof.

Went to the toilet after doing back today (a lot of straining) and what do ya know blood again.

I think it's time to see the doctor guys.
Not looking forward to an internal examination at all. Yikes

Haemorrhoids are always in your arse, and then straining can make them come out and thats what people call the 'bunch of grapes'. But really, they are nothing more than enlarged blood vessels. You can get rid of haemorrhoids by squating when you 'pass a stool (so like a french toilet stance). This reduces the stress and you need to push less, and thus less strain, and symptoms improve.

It's definitely the lifting causing this, and i would say no cause for concern. Just take it easy, as to physically burst blood vessels needs quite a lot of strain, thus, you may be slightly overdoing it.

Update:

Went to see my GP today and had and internal examination (won't be getting that done again in a hurry) and the Doctor said no sign of hemmeroids or piles but also added hemmeroids can be quite high up in the rectum so non reachable with a finger

She told me to keep watch and if anymore bleeding occurs to book an appointment to get some hemmeroids suppository capsules.

Time will tell

Well at least you got a girl doc

 

[Hit_the_weightS]

First thing I done when she said I need an internal examination was look to see how big her fingers were lol

^^^ yikes. i've always wondered why someone would go to medical school to learn how to stick a finger up an anus. i used to play poker with an 'ass doctor' and he was one ugly MFer.. i guess when you are that ugly you don't mind sticking your finger up strangers butts.

Dude, if your h's are so high up they can't be reached with a finger, you must be straining on a ridiculous level when lifting.

What can I say...

Go hard or go home
