Blood On Tissue Posted: 06-26-07 14:06pm
For the last 5 or 6 weeks, I have
sometimes noticed bright blood on the
tissue after wiping. There is, however, no
blood in the stool. It hurts quite badly
when having a bowel movement. Kind of like
trying to pass glass. This has slowly been
passing, it doesn't hurt quite as bad now,
but I'm also not having a bowel movement
as frequently as I used to and I also now
have this dull, annoying slightly painful
feeling in my lower right buttock. I don't
know if it's the on the inside, or perhaps
a muscle strain. Sometimes when I stretch,
it feels like it goes away. Does that make
sense? and sometimes it feels like the
strain is down more towards the top of my
leg. Any ideas? I'm kind of paranoid, but
that could be because my aunt was just
diagnosed with bowel cancer. Any
information would be great.
First of all are you pregnant and if so
how far along are you.
It could be that because you are having a
hard time having a bowel movement that it
tears a bit if your anus. Therefore
causing you to have blood on the tissue
but not in your stool. I wouldn't be
concerned about cancer if there isn't
blood in your stool. But if you are really
worried go get checked by your doctor.
They can test your poop to see if there is
blood in it, because sometimes it can't be
seen by the naked eye. My grandma was
recently diagnosed with bowel cancer and
she kept saying that she didn't have any
blood in her stool, but she was extremely
anemic with low iron because she was in
fact losing blood but she just couldn't
see it.
Depending on how old you are you should
start having scope's of your bowel's done.
My husband had one done at 30 because his
mother died of colon cancer at a young
age.
