Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool With Loss Of Appetite

I went to the ER abou 3 weeks ago because of blood in my stools. I have been taking an over the counter stool softner ever since. But now I am experiencing some differnet issues. The blood in my stool used to be reddish pink, but now it's a rich red. My stools are loose, but when I have a movement I cannot sit down completely on the toilet. And after I have a movement I get very weak, especially in my legs. bout 2 weeks ago my appetite changed. I experience very mild faintness. The weakness last between 10 and 20 minutes. I have had a loss of appetite and I am very sensitive to smells, which are making me sick to my stomach easily. I also have a lot of gas. What is wrong with me?

Hello,

Blood in the stool may be due to hemorrhoid or fissure or fistulas or colitis or polyps in the colon. Until examination, done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Eat high fiber diet and regular exercise, if symptoms not improved, please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
