Blood and mucus in stools
by msbabygyrl, Jul 05, 2009 03:35PM
About three weeks ago, I have noticed red blood in my stools. I don't have bloody discharge from my rectum. It is only noticed upon wiping and examination of the stool after a bowel movement. It is painless. I did not feel any hemrrhoids in the area. About one week ago, I have noticed blood and mucus. I do not have a history of cancer in my family. I do not participate in anal intercourse either. My diet is not the best and it is not the worst. I am not overweight nor underweight. I am pretty much a healthy female. What could be causing the bleeding?

Rectal bleeding is never normal and should always be investigated. Type in rectal bleeding to google/yahoo etc and log on to one of the many sites. The Medicinenet site is particularly informative. With this information you will be better informed when you seek medical advice.
Unless the doctor's diagnosis is certain that the cause is one of the more minor complaints such as anal fissure or haemorrhoids, I suggest that you request a colonoscopy.
