What Causes Diarrhea Along With Blood In Stool?
Good afternoon or evening. I m a typical man that doesn t go to hospitals unless is really necessary. The main problem that I have right now is that for the past few weeks I have been in a constant diarrhea condition and it s coming out really, and I mean, dark red. NO pain whatsoever anywhere though. Not taking drugs, only multivitamins. The thing is that is getting to a point where incontinence is becoming a problem. I m hoping is something I can cure with an over the counter medication. Thanks for any help, Hector
