Could be mild IBS: Drink enough water (8 8oz glasses) and consider an evaluation by your doctor. Mild ibs is possible ; often is treated w/out drugs - just lifestyle or diet changes. Best!

See a GI doctor: An individual over 40 years old with altered bowel pattern (constipation mentioned) and abdominal discomfort should see a health care professional for a detailed history and physical exam including a rectal exam and stool test for blood. A gastroenterologist consultation probably indicated as well as a colonoscopy.

Lately I have had to push to get a bowel movement started. Can forcing cause the colon to get irritated so blood appears on feces? Can it be hemmoroid
