In any case, you're best off to get to your GP and learn to relax. I'd have a wash beforehand as they will want to insert a digit. Also try to find a GP with small fingers.

I was "lucky" that it was a young woman with dinky fingers when I was examined recently. Been referred for a colonoscopy anyway :-/

Mine was a Woman as well. However she delegated to her medical student.....

To the OP. GPs see a lot of bums. It's no big deal. Walk in, sit down, and when asked, tell them about it.

What? You mean like, "Hi, I was wondering, there's a hot girl waiting at the bus stop just outside. Could I have her check my anus?"?

Bowel cancer is an utter beast of a cancer to have. And the reason that it kills so many is that we have a hill of embarrassment to climb to seek medical attention in that area.

Seriously go to a docs right away.

My toddler once has a dark red blood stained poo in his nappy one evening and basically we pooped ourselves. He had been in nursery all day so we desperately tried to get hold of them to see if there was anything we needed to know about his day etc. Thankgod for facebook as we managed to contact one of the nursery teachers who told me he had eaten red paint. Obviously he had eated alot more than they saw too!
Thankfully it saved us a trip to A&E that night.


OP: Have you eaten any paint?

Bloody hell take it you no longer send him there, communication by Facebook for update on own child must of been horrendous and unprofessional.

Seriously doubt this is a problem.

I had this a few years ago, my wife, rather comfortingly said "it's probably bowel cancer" (a real sister of mercy my mrs) so I went trembling to my doctor expecting to hear that I wouldn't live.

Turned out it was essentially a form of piles, but inside. (Sorry, a yuk subject). Anyhoo, no treatment needed and it went away never to return.

There were a couple of things that were important to the diagnosis, did the blood appear before or after the poo?! After is good, before is bad. Is the blood separate or mixed in? Separate is good, mixed is not so good...

Anyhoo, point is, it's probably not serious. HOWEVER... as above, get yourself checked out quickly. You need to know for sure.

I hope my rather intimately revealing post is of help! I know I was very worried indeed (cos it's a shock seeing blood) and was massively relieved to find out it wasn't serious.

I think that is the problem with blood in faeces - there's a good chance it's piles and there's a good chance it's bowel cancer.

A very good friend of mine decided his was piles. Then one day he broke his arm, and whilst in hospital decided to have a full check up, and discovered he had Bowel cancer.

He had 5 years of hell before he died. OP, if you've left it a year, you could be fked. Or not, but personally I'd want to know.
