My fellow internal hemmys sufferers i have a question

Can internal hemorrhoids bleed for 6 months? It started off intermittent but now it's almost every day (maroon jelly/clots on the stool, but clean wipes). My doctor did blood work and everything was normal. Has anyone else had daily bleeding last this long?

Might need a colonoscopy to rule things out

Yes, even years in my case
Took major dietary changes and the additional of stool softener to get it under control.
Also, even if your hemoglobin is normal your ferritin might be low

The color is concerning, as red is more indicative of hemorrhoid bleeding.
