Hi. One week ago I noticed a tiny amount of blood on my stool after a hard BM. I continued to monitor my BM and they were fine, until today. Again, a hard motion resulted in red blood on the paper and stool. This has coincided with the only two hard movements in the previous week. I have also noticed tiny grainy black specs on the stool tonight. I cut my lip shaving on Tuesday and swallowed an amount of blood. I m 32. Moderate drinker, non smoker. Diet is not great, probably don t eat enough fruit or vegetables. Any advice is appreciated. I m obsessive about my health!
