Hi and Welcome to eHealth!
You asked, so I'm gonna tell you. Go to a DOCTOR and tell them the symptoms you ahve been having for a year. Blood in your stool is NOT COOL nor NORMAL. It could very well be you have a hemmorhoid, or something stomach related such as an ulcer. You still need to see a Gastro Ent. Dr to find out whats going on and to rule out something that could get worse!

Utmait,

Fairy Godmother is a wise woman; I suggest that you do what she says.

I'll add this...make an appointment first thing Monday morning before you do anything else.

Your health should be your #1 priority...if it fails, you will too.

That's great but there is something in your digestive tract (from beginning to end) that is causing your pain and bleeding.

You still need to be seen right away...there is absolutely nothing normal with blood in your stools, nothing at all.

Make an appt with a gastroenterologist (one who specializes in the digestive tract) ASAP.
