|
| I'm a 53 year old male. Starting about a year ago intermittantly (a week or so at a time) I've noticed blood on my stool (not in it). It's usually bright red but sometimes its a maroon colored strip along the length of the stool (again, on it, not in it). Other than that, the shape, size, and color of the stool is normal. There is no change in the frequency of bowel movements, no constipation, gas, ect. I've stopped drinking and it now occurs less frequently. My blood pressure is above normal. I going to see a doctor as soon as I obtain insurance (soon) but for now could this be a hemorrhoid or tear or is this something more serious? |
