Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in 'Ask A Doctor'

Before I can guide you any further, I would like to know a few related details:

- do you feel constipated regularly?
- Any associated painful bowel movements, any history of haemorrhoids?
- Do you always notice the blood patches or only when you are constipated?
- Any sudden weight loss, fatigue or fever?

Kindly get back with your details,

Regards

Hello again,
Thanks for writing back,
Sorry for the delay in replying you,

Having blood in your stool could simply be due to constipation which may lead to anal fissures or tears that can bleed on straining, or it can even indicate the presence of peptic ulcers or even some severe condition.

I would suggest you to consult with a gastroenterologist at the earliest for proper examination and if required, your doctor may suggest for an endoscopy.

Meanwhile, it would be wise to avoid alcohol.
Also I would suggest you to take C. PAN-DSR one tablet half hr before food in the mornings for 2 weeks.
Also you can take Syp. LACTULOSE 15ml before going to sleep, for softening of stools.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further,
