Hello guys, new here and I'm hoping to get some peace of mind.
I started seeing streaks of bright red blood on my stool and toilet paper at the end of last december. My diet contains a lot of vegetables so my stool was soft. The bleeding continued for a month and would happen everytime I pooped, even with soft stools. I had no other symptoms, no pain or anything.
I went to the doctors, they checked for tears and hems and looked into the first bit of the rectum and saw nothing unusual. I was sent for a colonoscopy which came out clear. They haven't followed up since then. The bleeding continued for a bit, but the amount was decreased and it would come and go. I hadn't seen blood for a while so I tried to forget about it but got reminded again a couple days ago. I had a hard painful stool that tore my butt, this time I felt the burn and there was blood again. I might've irritated it even more with a second hard poo. I drank a lot of water yesterday to ensure my poop would be soft, and even with a soft stool i still had a streak of blood, but no pain. Is that normal? That even if the stool was soft it would still bleed? Could it have been a tear the first time too even with no pain and bleeding for a month?
