Hello Good Evening,

You have hemorrhoids as per your description, although hemorrhoids can cause heavy and chronic bleeding.

So you have to go to a surgeon for hemorrhoids diagnosis by Per Rectal and Proctoscopy examination to stop the further loss of any bleeding.

This chronic and heavy bleeding can cause severe anemia, which itself can cause severe weakness and many other serious symptoms.
Constipation can cause flare up of your hemorrhoids, so you should use some laxatives and avoid spicy foods.
You can local anesthetic gel for symptomatic relief.

So please do not take it lightly, go for proper evaluation and treatment (Blood transfusion may be needed), keep discussion with your GP about your bowel habits, dietary modifications and life style changes to lessen the symptoms, and get surgery if needed.

Regards,

Dr. Naresh Jain
