Hello,
I am a 27 year old female with an 18-19 year history of anorexia nervosa. I used to abuse enemas, but haven't used one in 2-3 years. This piece of skin has recently doubled or tripled in size. I read somewhere that your colon wall can become weak and literally start to fall out. Is that what is happening? If so, what is it called? I will go to my doctor as soon as I find out the name for it. It is close to the size of a dime.
Thanks for your help.

 Hi courage,
Are you experiencing burning, itching, pain, bleeding etc., in the area? If so, these may be symptoms of, for example, a hemorrhoid. Regardless of the causative factor I would suggest an evaluation by your physician to identify the cause.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN

There is no itching and very little pain. However, there is often bleeding. When it does bleed, it bleeds a lot. The blood comes from the inside though, not the actual skin (flap). I am too embarrassed to talk to my regular doctor about it. If it gets worse, I will go see someone else. I have had it for many months and I haven't died yet.
Thanks.
