Blood on toilet paper for 6 years

Posted by brandon87 @brandon87, Oct 17, 2023

Hi, ive had blood on the toilet paper on and off now for about 6 years. I've been to see a doctor and they said it's haemorrhoids? I've had no other symptoms. Just worried it might be more than haemorrhoids

If the blood is red and not dark, it is in the lower part, so go to a Proctologist for just a lower sigmoidoscopy. Will save you money & you can ask for a lower price if you do not have insurance , its done in a Doctors office without anethetics, which saves a lot. I had one done in my 30’s.

The home kit will come back positive any time blood is detected. So i wouldn’t advise it.

Cologuard no good came back positive did colonoscopy in hospital negative…..Don’t waste your time with fda approved useless kit. Get the colonoscopy by a real doctor…

Actually, the only way to be sure and check for other health issues is to have a colonoscopy. Also, if you're over 40, it's a good idea to get this test done every year or every two years.
