Anal Bleeding
60 Answers
For the past 2 weeks, Ive had bleeding from the arris every morning when going to the toilet.
Didnt think too much about it as Ive had several episodes of bleeding over time.
(But not for two weeks daily)
One such (about 15 yrs ago) resulted in a colonoscopy and the removal of polyps.
Another time it turned out to be internal hemorrhoids which were cauterized.
And ive had a few such episodes (that lasted for a day or two over the years) which Ive thought nothing off given previous experience and been just fine with afterwards.
However the last two weeks have give me a cause for concern.
1) My motions have been 'sloppy' (sorry, just couldnt find the right word) BUT not diarrehoea
2) Often dont feel like Ive emptied myself fully and and have to have several goes in the morning.
3) Often feel the need to go throughout the day (urgently) but nothing there.
4) Feel bloated
5) loss of appetite. Im overweight but just cant face food anymore.
At one time I could eat an horse now I struggle to eat a penguin (biscuite)
Im off work on Friday, so will *TRY* to get a GP appointment then (doubtful)
but in the meantime any ideas?
(Yes I know. Colon cancer etc....just want to know anyone else had these symptons)
Not unduly worried because the blood has (generally) been light in color
(Although some 'later' stools' have had dark red patches)
Thanks.

Bleeding should be taken seriously. I have the other symptoms you talk of due to IBS/diverticular disease. But no bleeding can you not phone your GP. He should take quick action to rule out anything serious It's not just cancer that causes bleeding and your symptoms but you need swift action and appropriate tests.

but I'd suggest that the most important line there is this one:
"Do not self-diagnose – see a GP if you're worried".

Perhaps you need to eat more high fibre food to bulk out your sloppy motions...
