Bloody stool

2018-04-09 00:23:13
They have been having bloody stools, and mucus in stool, for about a month. Before then, they had tonsil stones (had went to doctor whom confirmed it wasn't strep) and now they complain about sticky dark mucus in back of throat, dryness and bad breathe. The blood in stool is bright red and it varies from a little to a quite noticeable amount. Please help. He has expressed to me that he is very uncomfortable with going to a doctor and explaining his symptoms.

[ ] Hi if this bleed is not associated with pain than is generally due to piles and quantity of blood should be more. If this is associated with pain and quantity is less than this is due to fissure. At times there may be sigmoid colitis which leads to cramping lower abdominal pain and may cause passage of blood in stool. Other rare causes are presence of polyp growth Or a malignant growth. You should avoid constipation, as this is the cause for piles/ Fissure. it's better to get evaluated , a short scopy done to rule out the underline problem. Take salads in each diet. Take plenty of water. Get your self evaluated soon. feel free to ask any further quary.Take care.
