There seems to be blood on my stool when I poop. It appears to come out with the stool instead of in the stool, but it's kinda hard to tell. About a year ago, I thought I had an anal fissure because it hurt when I pooped and there was sometimes blood. Later I realized that I had a hemorrhoid, although I never noticed blood again after I noticed the lump. For the last week or two my hemorrhoid has been gone (finally!), so I was surprised when blood started showing up a couple of days ago. What's odd is that there is no pain associated with this blood. In fact, I pooped the most blood yet just now and the stool was very soft and went through very easily. The blood is not a lot. A little drips into the bowl when I poop and my first wipe gets a decent coat of red paint, but that's all.
Anybody know what this could be? Should I see a doctor? If so, would I go to my university's physician first and let him refer me to a specialist, or should I look for a specialist myself?
I'm a 20 year old male, good health.
