What Causes Bloody Stool With Pus Discharge?
My aunt has bloody stool and puss discharge, she is in denial that anything is wrong. She was on a strong Antibiotic regiment (probably has C-Diff.) and blames it on that. Her last colonoscopy was 2 or 3 years ago...what could be the problem. She refuses to go to a doctor by the way.

Hello,
It could be a sign of diverticulosis or rarely colon cancer.
Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy.
As of now laxatives like lactulose can be taken for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
