Patient's question:
I used to always feel something uncomfortable in my rectum, but it got better when the weather got warmer. However, now I have constipation where the stool comes out in balls and is black, with mucus in my rectum and blood in the stool. This started yesterday.Doctor's answer:
This is gastrointestinal bleeding, but the cause generally needs to be identified. It is recommended to have a colonoscopy. Most young people usually do not first consider it to be something serious. First, it is important to rule out hemorrhoids! Regarding your digestion, do you have hemorrhoids? First, determine the location of the bleeding. You can judge from the color of the blood in the stool. If the blood is bright red, it is usually due to anorectal diseases; if the stool is black, it is generally caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
