Hello doctor, Bright red blood is coming from the rectum after using the bathroom. The rectum is also very itchy and no signs of external hemorrhoids. Rectum has been itchy for a while especially when wiping. Every now and again there is a light and spotty bright red blood. There was a little more during my last BM which caused me to be concerned. It may be an anal fissure? I am currently taking Cortizone 10.
Hi. It could be a fissure or internal hemorrhoids or IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). Just to differentiate one from the other if you could help us out by answering these questions: Does it hurt when you pass stools (BM)? Do you have constipation? How much was the blood? Did you felt dizzy? Do anyone have colon cancer in the family? Do you have any weight loss?
