Hello Ladsboy21,

                          sounds like Hemorrhoids bleeding fresh after a bowel movement. The real concern would be seeing stale blood appearing as dark spots peppered within the stool. Perhaps they have grown since your last inspection, your doctor should advise the next steps.

Unconnected but l have been bleeding for the past ten years since bowel surgery, its fresh and from rapid successive bowel movements scouring off the bowel lining. If it were a recurrence l would have known about it long before now. Without further indicators l would not stress myself and ruin my second chance with mindless worry.

Good luck with your appointment,

                                                       David

Hello, I hope you are ok as I can completely relate in some ways. I had a raised FIT in December 2022 (27) and my colonoscopy and biopsies were normal. At the time I only noticed a bit of blood. My symptoms have progressively got worse and I had a repeat FIT in February this year and it’s now (200), I had a virtual colonoscopy today to double check the bowel as the previous colonospopy was normal in 2022. I would really go back to your GP if your symptoms persist and are ongoing. You do need to find out what’s causing it. I have progressively got more unwell with my symptoms and noticing more blood. My consultant did say to me back when she told me the results that even if I started growing a polyp then, it would take five years to turn into cancer so that does give me hope and hopefully you too but that’s not a given. You know your body better than anyone else so please get checked and even ask for another colposcopy or virtual colonoscopy to double check/rule out and either way to give yourself reassurance and clarity as to what is going on!
