The blood on the tissue does not happen very often at all. I use to have somewhat of a schedule when it came to bowel movements, but like i said i go maybe once or twice a day. The color of the waste is still brown, doesnt seem like much of a color change there. But its just comes out in small sections, and the amount is not a full amount like i know i used to produce. The symptoms have been going on for a few months now, i did go to the doctor once before, and they did take a look, What they said was that there was fungus, and he recommended lotrimin ultra. I took that for awhile but the itching really didnt go away. It first felt like i had a tear or something, but not sure if i still feel that anymore. I used neosporin for awhile as well, which seemed to relax the tear like feelings. When i bend over i can still feel some pain in the rectal area though as if its stretched or a cut or something.
