Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had a bad experience today. My bowl was entirely reddish. I do not know what it could be. Currently, I am taking Envas 2.5 mg.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have blood in the stools. If you have blood in the stools again, then you have to investigate with a stool routine examination. It can be an infection of the colon, and an antibiotic course can be taken. If the bleeding is painless and fresh red, then you can try to rule out piles by doing proctoscopy examination.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
