Hi,
For awhile now I have had painful bowel movements and then find that there is blood when i wipe that area, not a lot, but some. Afterwards it takes awhile for the pain to go away so it is hard to sit down at times. I went to the doctor and she just gave me some medicine to help with it, and for about 2 weeks when i took the medicine and afterwards i felt fine, but then the pain and bleeding comes back. i do not know why. this has happened twice already, over a period of a few months. Should i be worried? I don't want to go to the doctor again to have her tell me the same thing. I was just wondering if this was normal or that it is because i don't excercise or eat enough fruits and vegetables. Anything you have to say will be of great help. Thank you

 Hi Kassie,
Any unexplained pain or bleeding during bowel movements should always be evaluted by a physician. Numerous conditions may cause either, (pain/blood) ie., irritation in the lining of the intestine, polyps, rectal tears, hemorrhoids, etc. Diagnostic studies would assist in identification of the causative factor.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
