bleeding from rectum
by suzannah980, Apr 15, 2009 10:51AM
I have bright red blood coming from my rectum. It has happened before but I assumed it was from running, because when I run it causes diarhea (diarrhea) of sorts. I, also, have a dull ache in my lower back. I was wondering what could be causing this. I am an alcoholic but have been sober for awhile now. What could be causing this?

As you are 40, you should seek medical advice. Rectal bleeding is never normal and should always be investigated. Type in rectal bleeding to google/yahoo to ascertain all possible causes for discussion when you visit your doctor/specialist. Unless the doctor can give you a definite diagnosis that the cause is one of the more minor ones (haemorrhoids, anal fissure etc) I suggest that you ask for a colonoscopy.
