Blood and anallpain

[Cindy]

After going to the ER, I was told there was blood in both my stool and in the tolet after a bowl movement. This has happened twice in the past week. Other days, everything looked normal in color and texture. I had pain in lower area of bowel when passing a movement and blood( about 3-4 teaspoons) in tolet that seemed to follow. Family history of Polyps. Medicines now on, ClartinD, Zoloft 50mg, and Flovent for Asthma. Was dia. with a Fissure about 10 years ago. Have had very little trouble since then, until now. Once I passed my bowel movement last night it look normal,no blood seem, but anal was sore and felt as if an acidity burn was there. Put a warm washcloth onit and it reduced the burning. My main concern is I can't get in to see a Specialist until Nov. 26. Very concerned this could be serious and waiting could make a difference in the outcome. Do you feel this is more likely to be okay if I wait a month or does it sound serious enough to go to ER and insist on seeing someone now?

Thank you for taking out the time to answer this question. It may make a difference in my health outcome also. Thank You!!

Hi. I've been too embarrassed to go see the doctor, I was hoping that somebody could help me out on this. I think I might have hemmoroid(s). There's been no blood in my stool, but there has been on the tissue after a bowel movement. The area is very tender and gets itchy and irratated and burns like *** if i get urine on it. I've noticed that there's a couple of "veins" that look somewhat swollen. Is this hemmoroids? If so, is there a way i can treat it at home without having to go to a doctor.
ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. thanks.

I think you should all get a second opinion before you all freak out.  Not all doctors are the same.

Hello,
Right now I have a bad case of the flu.  I am also taking erythromycin for post-operative dental surgery.  This morning I had a rather large bowel movemnet.  There was bright red mucousy blood in three areas.  I have had hemmoriods. Sometimes I do get anal pain.  I had it yesterday.  Has anyone ever heard of the antibiotic I am taking causing blood on top of the stool.  The blood was on top not inthe stool. It was not a large amount but I am really scared about this.  I have had hiatial hernis, reflux and an irritable gallbladder for many years.  have had every kind of test done.  This is the first time I have experienced blood like this.  I am 36.

I am  a 45 year old male. Last May I was diagnosed as having proctitis. A sigmoidoscopy was done and biopsy taken. Results were that it was not bacterial or viral. The only other cause is allergic reaction or "I don't know" as the doctor calls it. I was put on Rowasa enema's daily for 4 weeks, then every other day for 2 weeks then every third day for 2 weeks. At the end I was still passing blood but not as much. I stopped the enema's for 3 weeks then the doctor did another sigmoidoscopy and found the lower intestine had improved greatly but was slightly inflamed and had me continue the Rowasa enema's. My bleeding and mucus have slowed considerably but now I have intense pain in my intestinal area which causes an enourmous amount of gas. I have tried diet changes for weeks at a time and nothing helps. Over the counter treatments for gas offer no relief. Other than the pain and embarassment of gritting my teeth from the pain and then passing the gas," while trying to control the noise" not to mention the odor, I am healthy while the proctitis is healing. Any suggestions????
