Blood on toilet paper 6 months after having baby

Posted , 3 users are following.

Since having my daughter I've had occasional bleeding after a BM. It's only on the paper and very small amounts. Sometimes it's painful to go and sometimes it isn't and there's still blood. My GP couldn't see anything wrong when she examined me so I'm now worried that I have cancer. Please help!

    Im no expert by any means but sounds like small fissure to me—sometimes they aren’t visible—mine wasn’t when docs looked.

    You know the drill—fiber, Sitz baths, otc creams—if you get one with steroids, use only 7 days. Others you can use longer.

    If you are really worried, see a colorectal doc—s/he will put your mind at ease. Hugs to you...you will be ok!

    Change your diet to high fibre diet and drink plenty of water.
