Rectal bleeding
I have been having rectal bleeding. Bright red colour stool passed drop wise and after passing stool and some of blood covering stool .It has happened twice in 2 months. First time I had constipation and I passed hard stool and blood came out with it drop wise after passing stool. While passing stool it is painful otherwise I do not feel any pain. I visited a gastroenterologist and he gave me medicines of hemmoroids and isabgol powder. After one week I stopped passing stool. After about two months I stopped taking isabgol powder and again passed hard stool and it again started bleeding. This time amount of blood was less and also some blood covered on stool. It has been 5 days but small amount of bool is passing along with stool. I have again started taking isabgol powder. Is there a need to go for colonoscopy or it is just hemmoroids and will cure by itself . Is there any risk of other ailment. Please help

[ ] Hi if this bleed is not associated with pain than is generally due to piles and quantity of blood should be more. If this is associated with pain and quantity is less than this is due to fissure. At times there may be sigmoid colitis which leads to cramping lower abdominal pain and may cause passage of blood in stool. Other rare causes are presence oflpolyp growth Or a malignant growth. You should avoid constipation, as this is the cause for piles/ Fissure. it's better to get evaluated , a short scopy done to rule out the underline problem. Take salads in each diet. Take plenty of water. Get your self evaluated soon. feel free to ask any further quary.Take care.
