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 3 weeks, my husband has been having diarrhea or very loose stools that are blood tinged. Sometimes the blood is dark red with clots, sometimes it is bright red. It is on the tissue paper as well. I took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with internal hemmorhoids and given a rectal suppository. The problem still exists and now he is having more frequent, bloody stools. Is this evidence of internal hemmhorids or something else? His occult blood was also negative.
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com I have evaluated your query for your husband in details .
* This is more possible with intestine infection contributing as major factor with hemorrhoid contribution to lesser extent . * Needs systemic evaluation in form of laboratory and ultrasound with or without colonoscopy as per the clinician concern .
Wishing him fine recovery . Feel free to ask any further doubts .
