hello, I am a 33 year old male and in the last 6 months I have been experiencing loose bowel movements every morning, sometimes once or twice or three times, before this I was always hard and regular once a day. On top of that the last 3 months I have had tiny specs of red blood on toilet paper after wiping. I continue to wipe and small streaks of blood appear (after all is clean). I went to the doctor and he seemed slightly concerned and I had a blood test but all came back ok and so no follow up needed. 

im freaking out because of this blood. What do people suggest I do? And should I be worried? Thanks!

    I'd suggest if your worried I'd go back to the doctor and and explain your anxiety and ask him to explain why he feels that everything is ok. But if the blood is bright red it could be just a slight anal tear, its when the stools are very dark or you see dark red blood  is when its a cause for concern.
