Need help to know what is the cause for this type of poop.

[Jenith]

Hi, am jenith, I had a anal fissure before 8 months, on that time I have consulted doctor he gave stool softener and suggested to sit bath, take fibre foods and I have followed those and blood is stopped for 2 months.

Again recently am facing rectal bleed with white mucus, again I have consulted doctor and again he suggested that I have anal fissure and he gave stool softener and ano bliss cream. But it’s almost 1 week after consultation of doctor but am still facing bleeding with some white mucus with constipation.

Please someone say what is the cause of this stool. I have attached the pic below.

Hi Jenith,

Thanks for posting with us. For the bleeding to stop for awhile and then start back 2 months later should be looked into. You want to be sure of what's going on. It could be being caused by a lot of different things, but you probably want to narrow it down for certain and not have to speculate. Does your family have any hereditary issues along these lines or other disease this may be a symptom of? I just like to stay on the side of knowing rather than having to speculate. I'd ask you doctor for some further tests and maybe a colonoscopy would give you those answers you are looking for.

We wish you the best in finding out what's going on. Please let us know what you decide to do as that can be helpful to others on this site as well.

Thank you,
