The most common reason for seeing blood on your stool is a bleeding hemorrhoid. Stool softeners or more fiber in the diet can relieve constipation so there is less strain on the anal area.
Also depending on the foods you've eaten recently, like tomatoes and such, can cause bright red colored bloodin your stool. Give it at least 18 hours to clear out of your system.
Unfortunately, there is no way to know if it is just a hemorrhoid or something much more serious. Only your doctor or a gastroenterologist can find the true cause.
The first doctor you would see is a primary care or emergency room doctor to confirm the findings of blood in the stool. Once confirmation is made, the doctor will refer you to a proctologist.
Take a history for "red flag" signs (age, medication use, weight loss, family history, etc). Discuss related symptoms (stomach pain, joint or other pain leading to frequent NSAID use, bleeding elsewhere, fatigue, constipation/diarrhea, recent travel, etc.)
Usually labwork to include at least a hemoglobin or hematocrit (to see if blood loss is enough to cause anemia). Depending on age and situation, the health care provider will usually do a rectal exam and guaiac test.
You may first need to schedule a visit with your general physician or your family physician (if you have one). And then if there are any complications He/She will refer you to a proctologist.
"A proctologist is a specific kind of specialist hemorrhoids doctor, that works with the anorectal canal and subsequent structures. In other words, if it has to do with your hemorrhoids, this is probably the hemorrhoids doctor that will be looking at it..."
Dentist WRONG You must see your physician and ask for a referral to see a proctologist this may hurt been there a scope is used right up you know where that is how it is determined whether they are internal, external you could actually feel. In either case external could be removed extremely painful but, internal only they can be banded still hurts and the band falls of. The physician is going to give you a mild sedative supposed to work IT DOES NOT there is an ultrasound that you could look at at least there was one for me so I could see the entire internal organ acutally extremely interesting hope this helps.
If anyone finds blood in their stool they should go to the doctor immediately so that the doctor can make sure that isn't anything significant and that it isn't caused by something that can be treated at present so it doesn't get out of control and can't be treated.
Start with your primary care provider, as the next step will depend on testing done there. If you have already been diagnosed with blood in your stool with your primary care provider, ask that office which type of specialist you should see next.
