Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since there is blood which you can see, it is coming from the lower gut. This can happen in hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, diverticulosis (outpouchings from the bowel wall), inflammatory bowel disease, or dysentery.
In hemorrhoids the blood falls after the stool. In fissures it lines the stools. In all other problems the blood is mixed with stools.
Please consult a gastroenterologist for confirmed diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
DONT MESS AROUND GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I TOO HAD BLOOD IN MY STOOL AND NOW I AM WEARING AN LLEOSTOMY BAG. GO NOW DONT WAIT CATCH IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. GO NOW
Have you had a colonoscopy. This could be from polups or hemorhoids. Most pollups are benign and can be removed. My husband had three removed a couple of years ago. If the discharge is accompanied by pain it could also be an ulceric condition. Both are not as uncommon as you may think but need to be treated.
Call ur dr....blood in the stool is not a good thing..and if u r sure it is not a hemmorroid....
