I'm 20 and was treated for piles 4 years ago. I think the problem never went away as I still feel tears when I go to the toilet and it can be very painful. I often get blood on the tissue, sometimes bright red/pink, other times just little spots (as if from a cut). Also, there's sometimes blood in the toilet. I really want this problem to go away and want to be able to go to the toilet without being in pain! Please help!!

Im currently pregnant and noticed i had piles long before i knew i was expecting.
During this time me and my partner experimented and tried anal sex.
since then my partners noticed pink skin like lumps on the end of his penis that look alot like my piles.
theyve bled and come away from his penis.
i was worried as i we are both unsure what they are and feel embarrassed to ask anyone.
Please help ? ? ? ?
