There is bright red blood on the tp when finished cleaning myself
Brief Answer:
Suggestive of an intestinal infection...
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/59 - loose stools preceded by gas - bright red blood on tp when finished cleaning up - just started yesterday - out of town on a trip until Tuesday ...
All these things happening together is most indicative of an intestinal infection.
I would advise you the following.
Get the stool tests done as well as of the blood. I know it may be bit difficult once you are out of town, but necessary to avoid the present and future complications.
I would advise you to consult a Doctor in ER or such facility that there will be a clinical evaluation, examination and investigations and you get a valid prescription of an antibiotic, probiotic symptomatic and supportive medicines. In fact you should get the things as early as possible since you are out of your town.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
