Blood in stools
Hi there, I was having constipation for about 2 days, only last night I had the urge to defecate. My stool were pretty hard. What I noticed was fresh red blood on my stools. I did not feel any pain, no trouble defecating also. I went and check with my GP and he gave me suppositories ( Ultraproct = Fluocortolone Pivalate + Lidocaine HCL ). No abdominal pain during physical examin.I did not use it because I was scared as I have never before used any medicine via anus. I only ate 1 bisacoldyl tab last night 5mg. This morning I took 2 more tabs of bisacodyl each 5mg so total 10mg and i had a pretty good bowel movement. Went to the toilet and defecate, there was no blood, no pain, just slight tingly sensation with very small to tiny burning sensation ( completely not bothering me at all ) maybe because the stools were still big and hard. So do I have to use those suppositories today or no need? Should I use it as a precautionary step ? Even if I did use it? Is it safe? Thank you very much.

[ ] 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.
