blood in the stool

[Sara654654]

Hello, I'm a 44 years old female and i have a blood in my stool for about 2-3 weeks. I did colonoscopy 10 months ago and my doctor said I have hemorrhoid. What you think is the bleeding can be from hemorrhoid or other things. The blood is red and it happened when I have harder stool and also softer stool. Should I repeat my colonoscopy to avoid cancer or it is something else? Is it possible that something bad grew up within 10 months. I have also feeling that something stuck in my throat sometimes.

Thanks for good tips.
But I'm worry about the feeling that something stuck in my throat also. It was happened together that blood in the stool and feeling of fullness in the stomach.

Because it's bright red and your experience hard stools, I feel this is your hemorrhoid or you may have a small tear in the anus from the hard stool, both are benign conditions.  Nothing develops in the colon within 10 months so I wouldn't worry about that.  Make sure you eat enough fiber and drink plenty of water.  You want to avoid the hard stools and straining, so if this doesn't help you may want to add a stool softener like Miralax (not habit forming) to help with your BM's.  Let us know how you're doing.

If the color is bright red, then that would indicate that your hems are bleeding, especially with a hard BM.

Do you bleed less with a softer BM?

However err on the side of caution and go and see your Dr about this

Hope this helps
