Blood in stool10/01/2007 |
My problem is that I`ve been bleeding bright red for a few months when I have a bowel movement or even try to. I haven`t sought medical treatment because I assumed it was from taking a senna laxative every night for 3 months due to constipation. I have stopped taking it for two weeks but am still bleeding. I might also add that I`ve been bleeding vaginally, minimally almost every day for months. I`m 39, with no health care, and this is why I would really appreciate your response. Thank You
Although it will likely turn out to be a hemorrhoid or something in the anal area, you should definitely get it evaluated to exclude something more serious like a polyp.
