I am a 39 year old female. I went to the Dr. because I was seeing what I thought to be blood in my stool. He did a quick exam and said he did not see anything. He had me bring him stool samples and he did not find blood,bacteria or parasites. Since my visit I have developed a lump right next to my anus. It is almost an inch in diameter, it usually does not cause pain unless I touch it(like when cleaning after a bm). Yesterday I saw some blood on the toilet tissue after I had a bm.
I have also had some weird digestion problems. I have been passing some undigested food in my stool. I also have been passing some mucus from time to time. The stool were pretty foul smelling and sometimes they are hard to flush(pieces stick to sides of toilet). I have also seen what look like tear drop shaped seeds in the stool but I have not eaten anything that looks like seeds. I have a family history of celiacs disease so I stopped eating gluten, that seems to have helped get rid of the mucus but that does not explain any of the other symptoms.
Any thoughts that I can ponder before my next Dr. appt. would be helpful.
