Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

F/u with MD. may be: diarrhea with blood and mucus could be seen in different conditions including infection, inflammation, cancer. go to see your MD and get checked. the fact that you have a normal colonoscopy 2 years ago- is encouraging. however, if your symptoms continue- a repeat colonoscopy should be considered. discuss with your MD.

After a bout of diarrhea I sometimes notice a small speck of blood on my stool. It happens about twice a year. I have been diagnosed with Hemmorhoids in the past. Does this warrant a colonoscopy? Im 37.
