Blood in stool

Hi,

Thank you for reading. I am a 26 year old Female with no family history of any bowel cancers. For the past 7 months or so I have been experiencing blood everytime I use the toilet for a bowel movement. It is always bright red and painless. I am in no pain whatsoever, except for the occasional bloating. I am also having diarrhea at the beginning of a bowel movement then it will turn solid. I am also passing liquid/sometimes blood when passing wind, this is strange one as I can pass normal wind when lying/sitting down but when standing liquid will come out.( I thought hemorrhoids as that can affect your muscles) I finally found the courage to go to my GP who suspected hemorrhoids also, she prescribed Anusol with steroids i used for over a week and it made no difference.  I'm not going to the toilet for a bowel movement more than usual, just 1-2 times a day thats my normal. I often have to go just to release wind due to liquid coming out. I then went back to the GP who is now referring me to a gastro. Has anyone had these same symptoms? I'm going out my mind with worry, and could really use some reassurance. Like I say I'm in no pain, and the blood is bright red its just the diarrhea part thats making me think its something other than hemmeroids? 

Thank you for taking the time to read.

  • Hi,

    This is similar symptoms to myself but over the past 2 weeks I've also had the added feeling of incomplete bowel when I've been. Did your GP see piles? Mine did an internal exam and didn't see any so sent me for blood tests and I have to send in a stool sample. I do unfortunately have a family history, so now I'm worried sick x
