Hmm not sure if this is going to sound crude, hope not!! When I pass stools, sometimes when im wiping I see small fleck of red blood on the toilet paper (not actally within the stools, but after ive been wiping quite a few times). Just concerned what this is, I dont think I have piles, there arent any lumps I dont think, not that I can feel anyways.

Also, once when I had to strain quite alot there was blood in my stools....

Sorry, know that doesnt sound v nice to post about!! Dont really want to bother the doc again, but worried, its been happening years I would say!(argh, surely piles if it was that would ahve cleared up!)
Plus sometimes I have loose stools for no reason and other times they are er firmer and much harder!
