Blood Posted: 03-22-06 20:23pm
I'm only 18 for over a year now, I
sometimes get blood in my stool.
Not alot but it's enough so that I know
it's there. It only happens every
few months and lasts for only a couple
days before going back to normal.
There's no pain, no dirreah, no weight
loss.
For these few days, my stool becomes hard
and dark colored and I can see the blood
come off and go in the water. It's
never red, always dark and i've read that
this means it's coming from high up in the
gi tract.
The reason i'm worried is that my
grandfather died of colon cancer and my
mom has problems with her colon.
Should I be pretty worried about this and
go to a doctor to check it out?

If you are ever worried about your health
it is a good idea to see a doctor. It
sounds like constipation and possibly
hemmoroids to me - but i'm not a doctor, I
couldn't diagnose you.
