blood and discharge with mucus during bowel movement
Posted: 02-25-08 21:27pm

I am extremely embarrassed about this......I cannot remember the last time I went to the toilet properly. It's just blood, discharge & mucus.
The blood is bright red & there is lots of it. I 'go' approximately 6 times a day & the toilet bowel is always bright red from all the blood. I just get a sudden urge to go. There is not a solid stool. I wouldn't describe it as diarrhoa but more like a mucus. I havent a solid stool since this began approx 3months ago.
I gave birth (normal delivery) 4months ago.
I did have piles & rectal bleeding & discharge during pregnancy but not to this degree. I did visit my doctor then who prescribed anusol.
I eat a healthy well balanced diet with plenty of fibre.
There is no pain at all but the amount of blood scares me.
I had a colposcopy approx 4 years ago when suffering with horrendous abdominal pains but everything was normal.
I do not have any pain at all now though. I am 24 years old.
I cannot even break wind as I nearly always have to change my underwear after due to blood & discharge escaping.
Please help! Many thanks.

Stools that show signs of mucus or blood may indicate a medical problem. Bright red blood usually occurs from bleeding near the rectum.
Do you have difficult and painful bowel movements?
Do you feel pain, itching, burning, or throbbing in your anal area?
Do you still have pains resulting from abdominal cramping?

Mucus and blood often appear in the stool if the lining of the colon and rectum is damaged. That can be caused by inflammatory reaction like in case of ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease). If the damage is most severe in rectal area, one of the main symptom is frequent diarrhea.
Also, frequent bowel movements can provoke relapsed hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids when are inner don't cause pain, but are producing a lot of blood.

Have you lost your appetite?
Do you feel fatigue?
Have you noticed some skin lesions, too?

I don't want to alarm you but I had similar symptoms last year and I had a malignant polyp in my bowel so I would really advise you to get this looked at. It may just be somthing like irritable bowel or internal hemmaroids but please get it looked at.

Get it checked. It might be something harmless, but you need to get it checked..

Thank u so much for the responses. I visited my doctor yesterday & apparently, from the last colposcopy that I had in 2004, I was diagnosed with colitis, but it was never treated, I wasnt aware of that it was colitis & there is no reason noted down as to why I have it, eg, ulcerative colitis. My doctor has refered me to a different hospital & specialist than the one I went to last time for another check up. Not nice, I know, but it has to be done. I am just waiting for my appointment to come through. In the meantime, my doctor has given me a 5 week dose of steroids to calm the current flare up I have.
Thanks again for the response. It is wonderful to beable to 'talk' to others without feeling awkward, so thank u. I will definately keep u informed of the outcome.

Have you finished your steroid treatment?
How do you feel know?
Are you experiencing rectal pain and urgency to have a bowel movement?
Do you sometimes have painful, but, ineffective bowel movements?

This is in regards to my mom and well she has colitis but is worried now cause for the past 3mos she has been having frequent BM's with blood mucus and she is terrified that it could be cancer. Last colonoscopy was 3yrs ago. Doctor's have tried her a lot of different medications and none work. Well some make her sicker than she was or just don't help at all. Could this really be a sign of her biggest fear?
