blood when passing a stool

i went to the doctors a month and half a go because i was noticing blood in the toilet and on the tissue paper when i passed a stool. he checked my back passage for hemroids and couldn't find any. he said i could have hemroids inside. he told me to come back in a month if it continues. but since seeing the doctor it has not been happening that often and i even went like 3 weeks without it happening.but today it has started again and there was quite a lot of blood . i have also been feeling bloated and feeling like my bowel is not fully empty after passing a stool. the doctor said that if i go back, he will send me to see someone where they will put things up my back passage that will hurt and feel uncomfortable. i dont know why he said that. i'm really worried

You have to get it scoped. I thought I had a hemroids, I had the same syptoms and only after a colonostormy. They found a mass above my rectum. So have it check out all the way. Good Luck

Yes the tests are uncomfortable, but you could have abscess or internal hemroids. No waying of knowing until you are examined.

If it is an abscess & you don't get it taken care of there is a chance it will turn into a fistula & then it will be an uphill battle to cure it...

I have dealth with abscess/fistula for now 3 yrs....NOT ANY FUN, so please go get it checked out..
