Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool
Im 51 year old man and noticed blood on tp when I wiped. Did not see any in my stool this am. I do have the occasional hemorroids and believe I have a non bothersome one now. Do you think that is probably the culprit. No, I have not had the colonoscopy yet but I did have a couple in 2004 when I had divroticulitis and my bowell ruptured. I was on a colstomy for 3 months. Just thought I would ask...

Welcome to healthcare magic
I am Dr Fahim and will be helping you with your query
I have gone through very question. You are having a painless fresh bleed that is not mixing with stools? Hemorrhoids is one of the cause for painless fresh bleed. Digital rectal examination and Proctoscopy needs to be done by general surgeon. If he exclude any bleeding hemorrhoids and bleeding continues then colonoscopy will be required for look higher up in the colon for any polyp etc.
I hope this will help you. Do rate my answer if you like it.
