ENBB is probably right: bright red blood means the blood is likely coming from somewhere perianal, not from your gut (which would make your shit black). which likely means: hemorrhoids. yr not gonna die, so don't go rushing to the ER. make an appt with your GP if yr concerned, or sit (lol) it out.

pp had this and it turned out to be colon cancer requiring a colon resection and 6 months of chemo. it probably IS hemorrhoids but you're going to be pissed (oh and dead) if its not and you left it too late to fix.

I went to the doctor and it cleared up. Is pp ok? Oh man ilxers shouldnt be dying, we are better than that.

he is at the 2.5 years post-all clear diagnosis point. they dont consider you 'cured' until 5 years have passed but he is just peachy so far.

Yay, high fives all around.

80085 (a hoy hoy), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:56 (fourteen years ago) link

or i guess high 2.5s

80085 (a hoy hoy), Friday, 5 February 2010 22:56 (fourteen years ago) link

it's so good to be reminded that pp is doing well. my father just got diagnosed this week, so it's scary and :( right now but i do know most people get past this, even though the treatment itself is pretty awful.

one year passes...

um, so this just happened

corey, Monday, 2 May 2011 02:49 (thirteen years ago) link

try not to worry because it will most likely be fine but do get it checked out.

estela, Monday, 2 May 2011 03:27 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm not too worried. Kind of morbidly curious. If it doesn't go away within a couple days I will go to the doctor (I don't even know how though, I have no insurance).

corey, Monday, 2 May 2011 03:34 (thirteen years ago) link

bright red or dark red? if it's the former, nothing to worry about unless it persists

br8080 (dayo), Monday, 2 May 2011 03:59 (thirteen years ago) link

Corey - read through the last revive if you want - some good advice there but essentially Estela OTM. It's prob nothing (esp if it's bright red blood) but if it continues you'll want to get it checked out just in case.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 2 May 2011 04:01 (thirteen years ago) link

actually it's blood and mucus (I'm sorry, this is really gross) :(

corey, Monday, 2 May 2011 04:02 (thirteen years ago) link

I started this thread and didn't die, so good omens. Hope you are ok c-dog.

probably

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 2 May 2011 04:07 (thirteen years ago) link

woke up at 5 am burning up with fever. Hope to god I don't have an infection.

corey, Monday, 2 May 2011 13:59 (thirteen years ago) link

Awwww corey. There's every chance that these two things could be totally unrelated but if I were you'd I'd go to the doc today if poss. I know that's tough without insurance but you're in Chicago, right? Is there some kind of a free care clinic you could go to?

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 2 May 2011 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link

^^^^. please take care of yourself, corey

br8080 (dayo), Monday, 2 May 2011 14:08 (thirteen years ago) link

yes, please do.

estela, Monday, 2 May 2011 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link

I knew a guy who shat blood. It turned out to be caused by drinking alcohol and chasing with aspirin (or tylenol, i forget). You didn't do that, did you?

Either way, go and see a professional. They are better equipped to Dx you than a crowdsourced response from "I Love TMI" ever could.

naus, Monday, 2 May 2011 14:27 (thirteen years ago) link

xps I think so. I have no idea if they deal with this sort of thing, though.

Re: alcohol, no. I hardly ever drink, and my diet is pretty good.

corey, Monday, 2 May 2011 14:31 (thirteen years ago) link

Cor - if they don't they'll at least be able to give you advice on where to go/who to see next.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 2 May 2011 14:39 (thirteen years ago) link

GO TO A DOCTOR

do you have hemorroids?

homosexual II, Monday, 2 May 2011 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't know. I had (really uncomfortable) sex a couple nights ago for the first time in several months, so that might have something to do with it.

Nothing else has happened in Buttland so I guess I'm okay for now.

corey, Monday, 2 May 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link

any abdominal pain? are you moving your bowels more than usual?

you do need to see a doctor immediately

estkella (k3vin k.), Monday, 2 May 2011 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

that post wasn't meant to be sequential, btw

estkella (k3vin k.), Monday, 2 May 2011 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh well that sort of changes things. I was going to ask but figured you'd have mentioned it if you had. Assuming you were the anal receptive partner then that could absolutely have something to do with the bleeding esp if it was "really uncomfortable" at the time.

It would probably still be a good idea to get checked out but I realize that without insurance that might not be possible right away. :/ Take care of yourself Corey.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 2 May 2011 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

That was obv x-post

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Monday, 2 May 2011 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Thanks. It's super embarrassing. :\ I freaked out initially, but I think I will be fine. Bodies are weird.

you're not going to die

This, at least, seems unlikely.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 10:11 (eleven years ago) link

one year passes...

so had this fun surprise just an hour ago. it was bright red, didn't notice if it was in the stool or not but there was some in the water of the toilet and a lot on the paper. recently was very dehydrated and there were hard stools passed, one which may have caused a tear as there was trace bleeding after it (and it was painful), but since then, I've hydrated and gotten to feeling better.

not asking here in place of going to the doc (I already am expecting my doc will want a follow-up after my last blood work anyway), but mostly just curious, is this something I can go to my PCP and have em check rather easily or should I see a specialist if I decide to?

last time I went to my PCP for something similar she basically violated my rectum and it felt weird for days (and couldn't find a fissure or external roid). but that was 5 years ago.

also if there's something visual that is a horror story that I should be aware of let me know, otherwise I'll just make a JIC appt after this weekend if it persists.

Neanderthal, Saturday, 28 June 2014 22:49 (ten years ago) link

sorry, that should have said "something visual that, if I see it, is a horror story that I should act on"

Neanderthal, Saturday, 28 June 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link

pcp is fine

gbx, Saturday, 28 June 2014 22:51 (ten years ago) link

but yr probably gonna get a finger, so heads up

gbx, Saturday, 28 June 2014 22:51 (ten years ago) link

well I guess if I'm gonna get one might as well be w/ a doc I've seen since I was 18

Neanderthal, Saturday, 28 June 2014 22:52 (ten years ago) link

oh and my diet is mostly terrible. not going to play it off like I eat a balanced breakfast lunch and dinner
