I have rectal bleeding, but no pain. Should I see a doctor?
I’ve been bleeding for awhile, and spoke to my doctor about it almost 4 months ago and she said not to worry. Lately though there has been a much greater amount of blood. The blood tends to be bright red and there isn’t a lot of it on a good day, but sometimes the blood is much darker and seems clotted. However, my stool is not black.
It’s not painful, it’s just a little frightful. I’m 17 and do take fluoxetine, wellbutrin, and trazodone every day. The trazodone tends to give me head aches, so I take AC&C, but there is absolutely no pain indicating that I may have a stomach ulcer. Also, I cannot stop taking these medications to see if that has an impact. My headaches are so severe that i can’t imagine going without the codeine either.
Is this a big problem? Should I go to my local clinic or just wait for an appointment with my doctor?

Yes, this is a big problem and you should go to an emergency room and if they send you home than make an apt with your Dr. I am so sorry you are going through this. Hemorrhoids was the problem with a friend who had rectal bleeding and it wasn’t serious but she had to have them removed. I would definitely get another opinion but you must do something about it because it could be internal bleeding or something serious that could have been saved had you got it taken care of sooner. I never heard of the medication you mentioned causing internal bleeding but you need to have it checked out. I hope your okay.
ew.
Definitely see someone. Probably doctor, or hospital. In case it is really bad.
use a tampon
