Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I found blood in my stool today. It was reddish brown. I have a history of hemmoroids, a flare up once or twice a year. Could it be connected? Also, I just started jogging this week. Noticed incresed stomach aches and vowel movements. The blood today ocurred right after a 5 mile run. Could that be the cause?
Jogging has nothing to do with bleeding per rectum. However jogging may raise the intraabdominal pressure and hemorrhoids become prolapsed leading to bleeding.
