Question:
This is kind of embarrasing
About 6 weeks ago I posted that I had blood in my rectum area (no bm ). I called drs office and they told me to keep an eye on it. yesterday after working out when i went to change clothes there was about an inch spot on my panties and it seeped through to my pants. well it scared me. i have also been drinking crystal light everyday and yesterday had raspberry and fruit punch. Do you think there is a possibility that that leaked out and is all it was? I will call drs office this am but just wanted your thoughts. — bikermama (posted on July 17, 2008)

Blood out of any orifice is NOT good. Might be as little as a hemorrhoid,
might be much worse. Get it checked out by a medical physician. Take the
soiled underware with you if you haven't washed it yet. Do it TODAY!!!

Yes, what they said. No, I don't think it is possible that it would be the
fruit punch or anything else. Sorry. Check it out!

I agree with getting it checked out ASAP, but I would also try put peroxide
on the spot to see if it reacts, if you see bubbles ,it may be blood. Good

What they all said above. If you have trouble with constipation, sometimes
you develop hemmorroids and that causes bleeding, But if it is something
more, you really need to get it checked out!

I am a nurse and agree with the other author who said to take the underwear
with you, the doctor's office has a hemocult kit and can determine if that
red spot is blood or not with a chemical reaction. I don't know if you can
buy a kit for home or not.
Sounds like a hemorrhoid to me, but, I'm no doctor. Always best to check
these things out asap.
Good luck,

OK I have not had surgery yet but I will say that any time I have drank red
crystal light it gives me runny red looking stool. I don't know why. BUT as
caution PLEASE go see your Dr and follow everyones advice in taking the
undergarmet with you if possible. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good
Luck!

Everyone here so far has made good points. And yes when I drink diet stuff
with food dye in it, it will sometimes show in my stools. But since you are
having issues I would go to the doctor just to be safe. Can U use some
kind of laxative or high fiber cereal to help things along? Good luck.

I can't tell from your name, but since you called them panties, I'm
guessing you are female... are you sure this is coming from your rectum and
not your vagina or urethra? WLS changes your hormones and even if you are
between periods or have gone through menopause, it isn't impossible or
unheard of that you could have some spotting or a little bit of blood.
Secondly, as far as it being crystal light vs. blood, you should be able to
tell the difference... blood turns brown when it dries--crystal light
doesn't. I don't think its likely that the dye in crystal light would be
able to travel through your GI track and leak out of your rectum without
mixing with food, stool, bile, or other bodily fluids, all of which would
alter the color.
It's quite possible that you've got a little hemorrhoid, fissure, or other
rectal irritation that's causing the blood.
Good Luck

Hi,
I had the same experience when I was drinking a lot of crystal light red
drinks. I know that is what it was because I stopped drinking the red
drinks and it went away.
