TMI - poo and piles/skin tags

TMI

I've noticed the last few days that my bum seems to be hanging out slightly..,

while washing in the shower when it's relaxed it feels as tho there are small things poking out. No pain when I touch them or go to the loo, if I hadn't have felt them I wouldn't know they were there. I've been gently pushing them back up and it's seems to do the trick for a little while.
I'm guessing it's more likely to be skin tags instead of piles and BF took a peek and suggested skin tags too.
Can I put Anusol on my bum to stop them coming out and is it safe to use?

Also I've been having very dark, almost black poo's with no pain or bleeding or anything. Any ideas why this could be?

Sorry again... TMI lol

Sounds like piles to me hun, I get these when im preggers as well, doc usually gives a lubricant pessary to push them back up. I wouldnt use anything your not too sure about or without ur gps advice as i think the piles are veins (correct me if im wrong)..

Thanks hun
does the doctor give you a pessary to insert yourself or is it typically, knickers down doctor looks and pops something up there?

I've never had piles before I can't even see myself with a mirror and don't really want BF snooping around that part of my body too much.

Obv want to sort it sooner rather than later

With my last pg (in 2008) they were quite bad (bleeding etc) so doc booked me in with the hospital and they inserted the pessary..the time before that (7 yrs ago) the doc did it herself.

Gawd no I couldnt have OH snooping around there

Ive used anusol with all my pregnancies as prescribed by my gp, but I do hear the pessaries are better. Your poo sounds like constipation and what you describe are piles. Good luck hun xx

skin tags are quite small, piles are much bigger. Sounds like piles to me. I've gotten them in every pregnancy, gets much better after.

I have them too, they are piles i'm afraid. (feel kinda rounded and smooth almost??) We're lucky that they don't itch, hurt or are bleeding! if anything like that then head to gp my MW said!

ouch... well.. I don't know what the heck I have because it all feels normal down tere but think I just ripped a bit because I wiped and there was so much blood!! Eeek. I thought black poo was a sign of a liver problem?

are you on iron tablets ? black poo is a symptom of the iron tablets (unfortunatley i have this !)

i also have piles - or what i think are piles - exactly what you have described ... not painful or anything and like you - wouldnt know they were there. definetley wouldnt ask OH to have a look though. As i thought these were piles i mentioned this to mw who has prescribed me some cream for this. she said the anusol wasnt as good as what she could prescribe. i havent used a pessary as mine are outside. i am hoping the cream will "shrink" them (sorry tmi) or does anyone know if you are stuck with these until after pregnancy ?
