Bright Red Blood With Bowel Movements.I Have Intermittent Constipation And Diarrhea.

I have intermittently had blood showing on toilet paper and droplets, some size of dimes, bright red blood when I have a bowel movement. This has been ongoing for about a year, in recent 2-3 months I started having upper abdominal pain and feeling of lump, but cannot feel it by physically feeling the area. Now I am having at times, severe pain over my bladder area or to the side of it and my abdomen is very bloated almost everyday. I am not obese and eat a pretty healthy diet. I have noticed the blood more when I eat red meat as opposed to fish or chicken. I eat a good amt of steamed vegetables and brown or wild rice. I'm wondering what these symptoms may be, especially because the blood is bright red. I also have intermittent constipation and then I'll have diarrhea. I do have an extreme amt of stress. Please advise...

Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.Bleeding per rectum along with alternate constipation and diarrhea is dangerous.You must consult a gastoenterologist immediately.Get yourself investigated thoroughly by colonoscopy and CT abdomen.there are plenty of reasons for bleeding per rectum and without investigation,proper treatment can't be rendered.Thanks and good luck.

From your description i feel that this is bleeding is due to piles or fissure.Where does you have a lump.Did you observe any sudden weight lose or tiredness in you.Drink more amount of water.If the bleeding is more consult a doctor soon.Get well soon
