I'm 24 years old and recently I've noticed after having a bowel movement there is traces of blood and mucus on the tissue paper and small amounts of it on my stool. My stool is normal in size, shape and color
. I am a smoker but I exercise up to 7 times a week and my diet is fairly healthy. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis at 17 followed with a laporoscopy and later told that I have two ovarian
cist. I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with this current situation but I figure the more information the better. Any thoughts of what this could be would be really helpful.
bleeding to google and click onto one of the many sites - the Medicinenet site is particularly informative.
If your motions are blackish-tarry this could be as a result of upper G.I. bleeding. The medical name for this type of motions is melena (google this word for more info). I am not saying that this is what is happening to you but it may be a good idea to ask your doctor about it.
