What causes bleeding in the stools?
Patient: Hi. I have had bright red blood in my stool for many years now. Sometimes there is a great deal of pain, while other times I don t feel any pain. Over the past year or so, the amount of blood has increase a lot. The toilet water will be completely red by the time I am finished going to the bathroom. Also, I had a blood clot (about the size of a grape) on the toilet paper recently. I am a 29 year old female. What could these symptoms indicate? Doctor: hello madam,thanx for your query on HCM,dont be panicked.looks like there is some bleeding point in your gastrointestinal tract.its very hard to correctly diagnose your case without examining you.better do visit a surgeon.get examined by him.take proper treatment recommended by him..things will improve.
