Why Is Blood Found In The Stools?
Hello, I am 32 and I have only had this happen a couple times but this is the second time that it has been really bad. I basically had a bowel movement of blood There was a little (poop) but, the toilet was filled with red blood. I have problems with gas, so after eating pepperoni pizza tonight I took "Beno" & it helps my gas. I am very scared. I do not have health insurance. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you..

Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids. Some advices that I can give to you are:
- Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas. Use topical treatments.
- Apply over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone.
- Use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
