Painless Rectal Bleeding for about the last 6 months. Visited my own local doc who completed an exam and could not see anything and out it down to a fissure and advised me on water and fibre. Have done this and this has helped but I still get rectal bleeding when passing a motion. Haven't noticed anything changed in my habit about from when I did go to the doc I was slightly constipated but that is now resolved. My motions are now soft.

I tried a stool softener although it gave me bad stomach cramps but throughout the time I used this I did not get any bleeding.

Struggling to get through to my own doc, should I continue with conservative treatment and try a different stool softener? Or is there anything else?

Should note again painless rectal bleeding and normally can just see blood on toilet paper which is a small amount. Sometimes it's merely just a tint to the toilet paper and is so light when light shines through it you can't even see blood so not really that heavy at all other times it's a small smear

Hi!

Any rectual bleeding should not go on without another visit to your GP.

If based in UK you should be able to have a telephone consultation with your GP and I suggest you push for a colonoscopy. Good Luck and stay safe.
