Brief Answer:
How many times do you stool in a day?

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The hemorrhoids are responsible for the blood in the stool. The best approach is to identify all those factors that provoke it and control them. we have medications if there is pain and surgery might be considered if they become quite worrisome. However, this is often not the case in many people.

The pains before stool might be normal if this doesn't occur several times in a day. When there is stool in the intestines, reflex mandates that there is involuntary muscle contraction in an effort to move it to the exterior. In most cases, it is not painful but if you get minor pains which stoop after stool, I will not be particularly worried, unless the pain is debilitating.

I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Regards.

Monitor for now!

Hi,

For now, it is really no big issue. If it persists and becomes worse, then you would be evaluated for irritable bowel syndrome and managed accordingly if need be.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I wish you well.

Thanks. But is that responsible for the weight loss?

I have lost like 5 pounds last time I checked and I am scared to check again because it’s gives me panic attack. I have not done colonoscopy. I don’t really like something being inserted into me.

Brief Answer:
Check again and let me know!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If your diet hasn't changed and you continue to lose weight unintentionally, then we need to review and get this addressed.

No one love being tested but when the benefits clearly outweigh the inconveniences, we are better off being tested than not. I strongly recommend you consider getting one if you have continued weight loss. This will also review your hemorrhoids and further streamline treatment.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
