Current Events > Welp, I'll probably die from this

(+) Yeah! (+)

A week ago I used the bathroom and discovered a little blood in the toilet. I freaked a little cause I didn't feel like I was in any pain. A little light headed while working and had a terrible cough upon which I couldn't take a full breath without some discomfort.

I came home that night and used the bathroom again to discover a lot more blood this time and even a small blood clot on the toilet paper.

Over the next several days my cough started to go away and I could breath normally again. I'm still coughing a little bit, but it's not as bad as when it started 2 weeks ago.

No blood since then. It's been a week since the last incident. Tonight I used the bathroom and discovered a little blood in my bowels. Not a lot this time, but still some.

Ever consider call your doctor?

Go get your butt checked out.

I forgot to mentioned there was no discomfort at all when I bled before. Tonight my stomach feels weird and a little sore.

Jesus christ go to the doctor.

Probably an ulcer but you probably should go to urgent care just make sure
---

Hemorrhoids.

Also, go to the fucking doctor.
---

See a Dr. I think there is even a company that will send you a sample collection kit if you are embarrassed. You do your business and ship it back to them.
---

Hemorrhoids. Stop sticking things up your ass, homes.
---

Your Primary Care Provider likely has the knowledge you seek.

I'm stubborn and don't have health insurance. After it didn't happen after the first time I thought nothing serious of it. Tonight kind of makes me worried though. I just got back a few weeks ago from traveling to ireland and before that I have participated in some clinical trials. I figured the first time maybe it was from the excessive coughing or stress from the long plane ride.

No telling man, should just go check. Theyre certainly gonna check out your butt tho.

Even if you have no insurance, an emergency room can't turn you away. I'd recommend going, and just explain the situation.

It's most likely a hemorrhoid. I freaked out the first time one of mine bursted, because it was completely painless. I just sat up from the toilet seat and saw the whole dang bowl filled with blood.

Still, get check out by a doctor just to be safe.

They first time it was bright red. Tonight it was a little darker. Not dark red, but not bright either.

I know, but I'm afraid of the bill and keep hoping maybe this will go away and I won't have to pay for the costs or deal with Bill collectors.

If the blood is dark red, that means it's been digested and you could have internal bleeding higher up in your intestines. Definitely go to a doctor, especially if you feel nauseous or light-headed. You actually can bleed out, and since you have very few nerves in your digestive tract, you likely won't feel it.

Over the last 25 years it randomly happens with me.

But I do expect my kidneys and liver to quit working at any moment.
---

Bright red blood when you wipe is nothing serious. Blood in the toilet on the other hand

So you'll just accept your death without doing anything about it?
---

Just go to the ER. Probably better to be in debt of thousands then dead.
---

sounds like ulcerative colitis or the beginning of crohn's, id go to a doctor ASAP. not to alarm you but this could also be the warning signs for colon cancer so get a colonoscopy
---

Shits blood.

Tells gamefaqs.

I have blood on the tissue and in the toilet pretty frequently. But I also have a terrible diet. Been happening for 20+ years. I'm probably fine.

You think I'll be ok over night? I don't feel nauseous or light headed tonight.

Probably yeah, if you feel normal right now. But if you start feeling weak or your stomach gets weird, I'd say to go first thing tomorrow. You won't drop dead spontaneously or anything like that, but internal bleeding can be fatal if it continues too long without treatment. It's also possible for it to heal itself, but it's not something you want to really gamble with.

Alright, I'll make the appointment in the morning. My stomach does feel a little discomfort right now.

Yeah, it's best not to fuck around with stuff like that. The sooner you have it checked out, the better.

Yeah just like last time. I felt fine the day after. It makes me not want to make an appointment when you feel normal and think you'll be fine.
