Suggest Remedy For Blood Discharge From Anus
Question: Hi there! Over the last week ive been experiencing bright red blood after a bout with IBS. Only on TP when I wipe. Please let me know if i should be alarmed, this had happened in the past.
Brief Answer:
hemorrhoids or anal fissure probably
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
if you were constipated then minor injury to the hemorrhoids or an anal fissure might have caused the bleeding. Hemorrhoids is the most common cause of such bleeding. Any kind of bleeding related to bowel movements is alarming until the cause is diagnosed. You should visit your doctor for clinical examination and perhaps for endoscopy of the lower part of the intestine.
If you had pain during the bowel movement then anal fissure or external hemorrhoids can be suspected. If the bowel movement was painless then internal hemorrhoids could have caused it. In any case, let your doctor investigate the cause.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
