A member asked:

My wife noticed blood while attempting a bowel movement. no spool, only blood. this happened last week as well.what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood : Blood from the bowel needs to be evaluated by colonoscopy. It could be something as benign as hemorrhoids or something as serious as a tumor. Infections and inflammatory conditions are in the mix as well. She should start taking a stool softener now, and stop taking Aspirin and other agents that thin the blood, and call her doctor for referral to a gastroenterilogist.
