I've been seeing a PT for about 9 months for internal adjustments/stretching. My insurance has run out so I've been doing internal stretching by myself the last two times.
Rubber gloves, lube and foot up on the bathroom sink like you guys have said. I'm getting the relief but the last 2 days I've been bleeding. This never happened during the PT visits. Or maybe I had a internal hemorrhoid tear or something.
You guys ever experience this? Just wondering if I should go to the doc and get checked out. This is the 3rd day.

Re: internal stretching
Hi,
If you have been bleeding for three days straight, it would probably be wise to see your GP, just in case.
You may have popped a hemorrhoid, or you could've opened a fissure by applying too much pressure during your self-PT. Remember that the lining of the rectum is very thin. Just guesses.

Re: internal stretching
Can you describe the bleeding? Bright red or darker, how often (only with bowel motions?), how much, any new pain, do you have internal hemorrhoids as far as you know, etc?
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

Re: Bleeding after internal stretching by myself
I do have hemorrhoids on occasion and the bleeding seemed bright red. But it didn't feel like the itchy normal hemorrhoid.
It was a constant slow bleeding and the bowel movements didn't seem to make it worse.
Just seemed kind of strange that I didn't have bleeding from the PT with all the internal work I had from her over the last year if it was from hemorrhoids.
Seems like the bleeding is less today

Re: Bleeding after internal stretching by myself
Go to your doctor...The bright red indicates a hemorrhoid...But the rule of thumb is be safe and see a doctor...

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.
