Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You have hemmoroids, the bleeding and pain is because if the hemorrhage from it.

Yes there is likely to be chance of infection to spread it via blood.

Blood infection can be prevented by prophylactic treatment with metronidazole and cefixime.

But it is not cure of this problem. Surgical intervention is the cure for such a problem. Once the hemmoroids is cured the infection chance automatically disappears.

Please maintain good hygiene as it can also help prevent the infection equally as antibiotics do.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
