Is Significant Blood Discharge Accompanied With Abdominal Pain A Cause For Concern?

I believe I may have experienced an anal fissure by a large, hard BM on Monday. There has been a significant amount of blood in the toilet for the past three days. Today is the fourth day and it has calmed down but I am still experiencing bloating and abdominal pain. I am concerned that there is something else going on that I can t manage at home. Is it time to go to the ER?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

It can be due to fissure or some problems in lower intestinal tract. You should go for ultrasound abdomen once to rule out any mass lesion first.
No need to go for ER. It is not emergency. But you need to search the cause.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
