Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing pain and noticing blood when I use the toilet. The pain is uncomfortable, and I'm concerned about the blood. Could this be something serious? What should I do?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. It sounds like you could be experiencing hemorrhoids, which can be either internal or external. Hemorrhoids are a common cause of pain and bleeding during bowel movements. However, it’s important to consider other potential causes, such as rectal cancer, though this is less common.
2. I recommend that you schedule an appointment with your GP or a specialist in hemorrhoid surgery for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. It’s essential to get checked out to rule out any serious conditions and receive the appropriate care.
Thanks
