A member asked:

Dx with uc in '12,since then in remission, most of the time without meds. now 1 formed bm, no urgency/pain but sporadic light blood on paper.flare up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably hemorrhoids: It doesn't sound like a UC flare. Everyone has hemorrhoids (they are normal structures), and it sounds likely that yours are bleeding a bit with stools. Do make sure to see your GI regularly, though.
