Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. Seeing blood in stool can be alarming, but bright red blood is most commonly due to fissure or piles caused by constipation or straining. Since you also have gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps, the underlying issue may be related to irregular bowel movement or mild intestinal irritation.
1. Advices
Increase water intake to 3â3.5 litres daily and include fibre-rich foods like papaya, banana, and vegetables.
Avoid spicy food, tea, coffee, and long fasting gaps.
Sit in warm water (sitz bath) twice daily for 10â15 minutes if you feel burning or pain while passing stool.
2. What to Monitor
Frequency and amount of bleedingâwhether streaks on stool or dripping blood.
Change in stool colour (black or tarry stool may indicate internal bleeding).
Persistence of abdominal pain or any unexplained weight loss.
3. Management
You may take Isabgol husk (2 teaspoons in warm water at bedtime) to ease constipation. A mild stool softener like Cremaffin Plus 10â15 ml at night for 3â5 days can also help. Avoid self-medicating with painkillers.
If bleeding continues beyond 3â4 days or worsens, you should get a proctoscopy or colonoscopy done to confirm the cause and rule out fissure, hemorrhoids, or colitis.
4. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
Continuous bleeding or black-coloured stool.
Severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or dizziness.
Palpitations worsening or feeling faint.
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, itâs important to discuss your current bowel pattern and any medications youâre using.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
