My husband has horrible stomach\lower abdomen pain. His stool has blood (bright red) and he is in almost constant pain. He wont go to the doctor, yet the symptoms get worse. When he wipes, there is a lot of blood on the tissue. This has been going on for many months, possibly years. He uses pepto like it is water. He also has high blood pressure, and stress in his job. It is not hemorrhoids, but I have no idea what it could be. he thinks the worst, and so I fear he will not take care of something if it were just minor. His stool is ribbon like, and he has bouts of diarrhea that are really bad. He is a non smoker, non drinker, works out, eats better then worse food, and does not take in a lot of carbs, sugars.
