Is Blood In Stools While Having Constant Bleeding Hemorrhoids Serious?
I had a colonoscopy 2 years ago that was clean and told that I didn t need to come back for 10 years. He did say I had hemorrhoids. Today my gyn found blood in my stool and said I needed more testing even though I told her my hemorrhoids bleed all the time. Should I be concerned?

Constant bleeding will cause anaemia ,which in turn will cause fatigue and breathlessness on exertion.Any how colonoscopy may be repeated to rule out tumour of large intestine which may cause secondary haemorrhoids
