Piles in a 3 year old

[Fauxgina]

When he was around 1 or 2 he had problems with constipation and when talking to the doctor I mentioned he looked like he had a pile, not visible on day of appointment and doctor said it was very unlikely to be piles due to age so it would be X - I've forgotten what X was, but a collection of blood due to a burst blood vessel.

I've just been wiping up and again spotted 2 purple looking piles that are dark. He's well in himself and not constipated, not in pain and no bleeding - do I just leave alone? He has had a vomitting bug I wonder if the strain from that caused it.

Further info: My son had a rectal prolapse when he was born which went away shortly after birth as far as I know (a mucosal prolapse visible after pooing when I was wiping, not seen after 3 months or so)

I don't feel like he needs to see a doctor, and especially as he has a bug he should be kept away from vulnerable people I just wondered if it was worth an appointment next week. I have a picture this time!

Bump, still there a week later.

Sounds like it could be a recurrence of mucosal prolapse or related issue- definitely back to dr armed with photo!

Thanks InSpace, I will go back then. Looks almost exactly like a pile, his mucosal prolapse was different - remarkably I managed to take a photo of that too! Was a bit tricky trying to show off new baby photos I can tell you

Jesus Christ I've just been on Google Images to try and refresh memory. No help found, just need lots of eyeball bleach.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post

Yes, I can see it might be a tad tricky explaining why you have been merrily snapping pics of your child's bum
Good luck!

I know this is a very old post but what was it in the end?
