Hi everyone a bit of a different topic I am about to discuss but is driving me mad.A few months ago I went to the docs because I was having discomfort in the bowel region and I have suffered with piles for years from having my child.I had some bleeding and l went to the docs.He gave me a thorough examination with nurse attending and said that my bowel was fine couldn't feel anything untowards but there was signs of past piles ie tags on the outside of my hoohaa.My question is to anyone that has had this problem is that the other day I had a very uncomfortable pair of pants on and couldn't wait to take them of (Cutting Into the Buttocks ouch) I went to the loo shortly afterwards and i had a bleed not for long but my question is can these tags still bleed if irritated even though it's no longer a pile? love to hear from anyone that has a similar problem.x mags
