What Does Blood Discharge After Bowel Movement Suggest?
Question: My 79 yr. husband is having blood on the TP after movement. He isn't constipated. It's probably only a 1/4tsp at the most. He has used Prep. H ointment & one suppository twice in the last 24hrs. Is it only hemeroides(sp?)?
Brief Answer:
Ys, hemorrhoids are the most likely cause at this time!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about the hemorrhoids your husband is suffering from. I have reviewed the information fully and this is the most likely cause of blood in stools. This is classical and there is no reason to think otherwise at this time. Let him continue with the ongoing preparation H and all would resolve within a week’s time. Is he in any pains?
Fruits, vegetables, increased fiber, much fluids intake and maintaining his stools normal would aid in the healing process.
I hope this helps. I wish your husband well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you for your answer. He isn't in pain. I think we expect results too quickly, days not a week. He has very large veins in his legs, so he probably has a tendency to weakness. I'll help him with the fiber, again, thank you.
