Hello. I have posted about this before but just an update.

When I go to the toilet I get blood on the toilet paper, sometimes just a little bit, sometimes a bit worse, but nothing in the toilet or visibly on/in the stool. The thing is I believe I've had this for years but I'm not totally sure as I did suffer from fissures years ago which last many years (never did anything about them). The bleeding isn't all the time, it comes and goes. It will happen for a while, then stop and I'll be fine for a while, then it will start again and so forth. I don't appear to have any other symptoms of anything.

I did go to the doctor about this probably over a year ago now and he thought I had internal haemorrhoids. The thing is, he only looked around, he didn't have an internal feel or offer any tests or any treatments.

Anyway since then I have been back to the doctors and he gave me a digital rectal exam and everything was okay. I was also been referred for further tests, blood tests, stool sample, and camera up the bottom. I have since had the blood tests and everything was okay except my platelets were apparently a bit higher than normal (not sure about details here) which I was told indicated an infection. I have had many FBC blood tests before and this has never come up but I was told if it was serious I would have been contacted. Should I be worried about this? Clearly the doctor isn't concerned.

My stool sample came back ''normal: no action'' which is good because I was fully expecting it to be positive but where does that leave me with the blood on the toilet paper issue?

Anyway my camera appointment isn't for a couple months and I have to wait 2 weeks just to speak with the doctor on the phone about my recent test results so clearly there is no urgency here.
