Today’s health tip:

The high pressure from pushing or straining to pass gas can cause existing, swollen hemorrhoids to bleed or rupture. If bleeding occurs during or after passing gas, it is usually due to intense straining.

A burst hemorrhoid will usually cause sudden, sharp pain, followed by relief as the pressure is released. It may bleed significantly, but usually heals on its own in about a week.
