What Treatment Is Suggested For Anal Bleeding?
Hey, I m a 22 year old female and have been having anal bleeding. It started about three weeks ago for only a day and went away. However it has come back twice again and this time it is worse. It is somewhat like diarrhea but mostly a dark colored red amount of blood. I had a colonoscopy two years ago for other issues and I m just fearful that something is very wrong with me! Please help.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done
1. CT ABDOMEN
2. Colonoscopy
As at your age chances of malignancy are very low. We need to think other causes like
1. Inflammatory bleeding ulcer
2. Dysentry (severe bacterial infection causes bloody diarrhoea)
3. Polyps
4. Vascular lesions like aneurysms or telangiectasia
So CT and Colonoscopy is needed.
Better to consult gastroenterologist and discuss all these.
