What Causes Lower Right Back Pain And Blood In Stool?
Hi. I have a friend who has experienced lower right back pain for the past 6 years. It started while he was in law school, with stress and sitting for long hours. The pain never left and from a scale from 1 - 10 it s at least a 7 or 8. He has seen multiple specialists and has not found any help. A few days ago, he had a lot of blood in his stool. He is scared. Spent 2 hours on the phone with him tonight. Any advice? Would appreciate your guidance.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related hemorrhoids. It is necessary to see a proctologist to confirm a diagnosis. An endoscopy may also be needed. Meanwhile, I suggest using an anti-hemorrhoid cream such as Preparation H.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
