Bastard haemorrhoids!

Has anyone suffered with them? I’ve had them since before my DS (eldest is 9) but I had them banded 3 years ago. They did seem to go away for a while.
ive been constipated for a while (I think due to my medication) and I’ve tried various constipation methods but I had a huge bleed after I went to the toilet about a month ago and I’ve bled every time I’ve been to the toilet since. Tried schripot (sp?) suppositories but no help really. im sure I’m now low in iron, but I daren’t take iron as I worry it’ll make me more constipated and make it worse!

Photo is just some of the bleeding and that’s not even the worst.

anyone been through this? What did you do? I’m at my wits end

I have one that never used to be a problem. Now I'm on strong painkillers that cause constipation so I've had quite a bit of bleeding.

I feel like I'm in a vicious circle of constipation- laxatives-diarrhoea - stop laxatives - constipation - bleeding on repeat.

I'm using Germoloids ointment to relieve the pain and itching but am on the point of going to the doctor as it's not having much effect..
