Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For the past two days I have had bright red blood in my stool. It hurst when I went to the bathroom but not after. I checked around the anus for any bumps and did not feel any. I'm 22 and healthy. Should I wait so many weeks to see if it stops or when should I be worried?
Hello, my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids. Some advices that I can give to you are: -Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, - use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent. -Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath
Hope it helps. Kind regards!
