General Surgeon 's  Response
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Various causes of blood in stool are there which range from
- fissure - hemorrhoids - constipation induced - inflammatory conditions
of bowel - certain drugs induced - tumors of different types
* Not necessarily every bleeding case is cancer - so don`t get panic , get
yourself checked by a Consultant Surgeon for the diagnosis &
management in accordance to that .
* Till that time I will recommend you following guidelines to get better
- manage your diet with plenty of liquids, green leafy vegetables, high fiber
to get soft evacuations .
- avoid all oily / spicy / non vegetarian stuffs / beverages
- Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water for 10-10 minutes
morning , evening & specially after passing stools ) help a lot .
- check your hemoglobin level
- regularly monitor your body weight
- avoid smoking / alcohol if using
- refrain from any sexual activities ( if doing )
- local application of Xylocaine (5%) jelly give soothing comfort
- need of systemic molecules / other treatment modality as Surgery depend
on thorough clinical examination only .
Hope this helps you .
