Hi, I had a third degree tear when I had my lg 6 weeks ago. Everything seemed to heal fine but a week ago I started getting fresh blood when I poo. I can't feel anything 'there', I was wondering if this might be piles? Am going to see GP tomorrow but wondering if this was fairly common? Starting to freak me out that the sphincter is damaged, have been so frightened of this happening an 'losing control' of my movements, as it were.
