Blood in stools......?!


Question: Blood in stools.......?
..... i dont know why im getting it, but i only notice after going. Yesterday i did a test, i lined the toilet with paper, and then after i noticed small blotches of bright red blood. So i lead me to think it might be piles, but my poo is soft not hard.
But then when i flush, the water kinda looks dark brown which is weird.
Dunno what i might be i had this problem before, years ago, which might have been piles, but went away quickly, but today i check again and it still happens, when i was expecting it to heal up. (if it was piles.)
I dont understand why though, im only 20.Health Question & Answer

Similar thing happened to me that lasted for a few days, I noticed when I was passing stools I was having bright spots of blood on the tissue paper, after a few days I went to the doctor and they had a look and I had an actual tear in my backside, it cleared up by itself in the end. I believe if it was piles then it would have been painful. However, saying that, I'm no doctor and if this lasts for more than a few days I would advise making an appointment with them to be on the safe side.Health Question & Answer

Fresh blood (bright red) in small amounts is usually something simple, like piles. If you notice blood that is a bit darker or thicker, which is hard to see considering where it's coming from I know, then you should see a doctor soon as. Try treatment for piles, if it doesn't stop then see your GP anyway :)Health Question & Answer

Go to your Doctor and get it checked out. You don't say if there is any pain, which you would normally get with piles. also have you eaten beetroot or similar. Best though leave the diagnosis to the medical proffesionals.Health Question & Answer

It could be anal fissure or hemorrhoids, but ideally, all instances of rectal bleeding should be investigated. See your GPHealth Question & Answer

we don't want to know about your poo thanks :)Health Question & Answer

If you've noticed blood in or on your stools, on the toilet paper, or in the water in the toilet bowl, it can be quite alarming. It's also something that many people feel embarrassed about, and therefore often try to ignore it. However, doctors are very used to this type of problem, because it is very common, so there is no need to feel embarrassed.

Any bleeding from your rectum (end part of the large bowel) or anus (the opening which stools pass from your body) should always be checked out by a GP. It is usually temporary and easily treated, but it can be a sign of something more serious. If it is due to a more serious condition, it is always better to start treatment as quickly as possible.

There are many causes for rectal or anal bleeding. Haemorrhoids (piles) are a very common condition. They are swollen veins in the rectal and anal area which can cause bleeding, itching and irritation, pain and discomfort. Sometimes they protrude, which means that you can see and feel them on the outside of the anus. Haemorrhoids are usually temporary, but if they persist your GP will be able to suggest a suitable treatment.

Anal bleeding can also be caused by an anal fissure, which is a tear just inside the anus which may be caused by passing hard stools.

The discomfort caused by haemorrhoids and anal fissures can be eased by following a few simple guidelines:

* keep the area clean by bathing or showering daily,
* dry the area carefully but thoroughly,
* use soft toilet paper, and dab rather than wipe,
* don't scratch,
* avoid constipation by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables and high-fibre foods, such as bran cereal, and
* drink plenty of fluids, ideally 8-10 glasses of water every day.

Haemorrhoids and anal fissures can often heal by themselves, but if you still have the same symptoms after a few days, you should see your GP.

You should seek immediate medical attention if your rectal/anal bleeding is accompanied by any of these further symptoms:

* black or maroon stools,
* bleeding that is worsening,
* fever,
* dizziness or fainting spells,
* nausea,
* vomiting,
* stomach pains or swelling,
* recent weight loss,
* altered bowel habits,
* severe diarrhoea,
* diarrhoea that continues for longer than a few days,
* pencil-sized stools,
* leaking of faeces that you cannot control, or
* inability to have a bowel movement.Health Question & Answer
