Hi everyone. I'm really anxious about this, which isn't helping my IBS but I was wondering if any of you have dealt with this?A few days ago when I pooped, there was a tiny bit of blood afterwards. The amount was so little that I even wondered if I had seen right. But a few days later, there was blood again, this time obviously so. Today it was even worse. This is really frightening me! I want to get to the doctor as soon as I can, but classes just started and I can't afford to be absent my first week! Also, should I see a regular doctor or find a gastroenterologist?I'm scared about what this might mean. Anyone have any similar problems? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick responses! I managed to arrange for a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, although it means missing a class. I want to be sure it's nothing serious, though I don't think it will be. I read a bit about hemorrhoids and anal fissures, and my symptoms sound like something along those lines. I'll find out for sure though, hopefully tomorrow.Thanks, guys! I hate that we all have to deal with these kinds of things, but it's reassuring to know there are others out there dealing with the same health issues!
