Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had bleeding (not profusely) for over a month when I go to the bathroom and I wipe myself. Blood is on the bathroom toilet paper at times . I have used Preparation H for approximately 1 month. Some days are better than others in terms of the blood on the toilet paper. I also have gas at times during the day. Should I be concerned ? What are my next steps to resolve this issue?
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you due to contraction of smooth muscles that occur periods times. I suggest to taking tranexamic three times a day for 5 days for controlling bleeding. I also suggest an ultrasound of the lower abdomen for the proper cause of bleeding. I advise you to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and its appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arup Majumdar, General & Family Physician
