Why did I see light pink blood on toilet paper?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Sometimes I notice bright, pink drops of blood on the toilet paper. They are very light and unnoticeable. I had a hemorrhoid surgery about 17 years ago. Also, I have chronic constipation.

What is the cause of the blood, and should I be worried?

Kindly advise.

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Jain

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern and would be happy to help.

You have internal piles. I suggest the following treatment plan:

  1. Include salads and fruits in your diet.
  2. Do abdominal exercises daily.
  3. Take lukewarm water regularly.
  4. Tablet Pilex (Ayurvedic formulation), two tablets three times a day for six weeks.
  5. Naturolax powder (Isphagula husk and Senna powder), one teaspoon in 200 ml of water at night for a few weeks.

I hope this helps.

Revert in case you have any other doubts.

Thank you.
