Wiping Blood

Hi all,

I’ve been wiping a lot of blood when I go to the toilet, this morning it was all blood and no poo. I’m in a lot of pain too when I go, before and after!

I’ve been to the doctors before about a year ago and they said it was all fine. Should I be worried? And should I go back?

Thank you

You need to seek medical attention immediately. Is is fresh red blood or older darker reddy brown? Fresh red blood would indicate a polyp or hemorrhoids, darker blood signals something potentially more serious. In any case seek medical attention now and don’t be fobbed off! Good luck

It’s like a dark red colour but there’s loads of it. I’m in a lot of pain when I sit down. I definitely think I need to see someone, they can quite literally get to the bottom of it!

Don’t spend any more time on here. Call A&E or ER depending on where you are now.

Thank you for the reply. That’s what I did last time but it went away and suddenly came back. I get back pain that seems to coincide with this too, although I’ve always had back problems.

I’ll try and get an appointment tomorrow after work

Don’t try... Do it!! I don’t want to worry you , and it’s unlikely but this could be serious!

You probably need a colonoscopy to explore what’s happening. Don’t get fobbed off and wait for it to come back later.

Go straight to hospital emergency dept and tell them of you symptoms. You'll be in good hands.

I am shocked, shocked ! that a doctor would not investigate this symptom when you went a year ago.

Where are you ?

Dark red blood, and repeated incidences of, esp. combined with pain, is frankly potentially a symptom of bowel cancer.

It must ALWAYS be investigated, with colonoscopy and / or X rays.

Don't ' try and get an appointment after work' . CALL IN SICK and get that appointment as a matter of urgency.

INSIST on being seen.

Explain on the phone the symptoms and that you MUST BE SEEN immediately.

If they refuse go straight to A and E and explain everything.

I am not a doctor and it could be something else, but even if it was piles they have to be dealt with ( excised ~which can be done during the colonoscopy ).

BTW they can give you sedation during the colonoscopy ~and it is very relaxing.

( In due course you may need a solicitor, but the medical investigation is more urgent. )
