Tiny amounts of blood on toilet paper after bowel movement.

[Chrisbr1988]

So for starters I am definitely a hypochondriac, and have been my entire life. I am 28 years old, athlete my whole life and no medical conditions except some acid reflux. A couple of days ago I had diarrhea after eating something that didn't agree with me. At the tail end of the diarrhea, after pushing and straining for a while, there was a small amount of bright red blood on the toilet paper when I wiped. Obviously, I freaked out, called my doctor, who advised it sounded like a hemorrhoid and told me to up my fiber intake. He also said if it persists for more than a couple of weeks, he might do a Flexible sigmoidoscopy

2 days passed with no blood when I wiped. Then I had a bowel movement where I strained quite a bit and a tiny amount of blood was once again visible on the toilet paper. Another 2 days passed where it was fine with no blood, but today there was blood again. It is very little amount of bright red blood. I also have a burning sensation after I have a bowel movement and some itching.

A couple of years ago, I bled after a bowel movement and went to the ER, they checked for blood in the stool, which there was none, and told me it was either a anal fissure or hemorrhoid.

I'm very irritated around my anal opening and it's driving me crazy not knowing what's going on. I am FREAKING out about colon/anal cancer and I can barely focus during the day because it's driving me nuts.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
