Question
Hello doctor,
I have bloody stools with burning pain, about 10 years ago there was fresh blood with stools. Now it's dripping, especially when diarrhea (but not always bleeding), sometimes the stools are yellow, sometimes black. I don't have a stomach ache or anything. I also often drink alcohol to receive guests. So the doctor asked me if I had hemorrhoids when I had a bowel movement with bleeding? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Do you have hemorrhoids if you have a bowel movement with bleeding? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
With symptoms of fresh blood in the stool before stool or dripping, it is usually caused by bleeding hemorrhoids. However, you do not specify how old you are this year, and if there is a family history of gastrointestinal cancer,...so the doctor cannot give you exact advice. With symptoms of small, flat stools, sometimes yellow, sometimes black, you should see a specialist in Gastroenterology and colonoscopy for a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
If you still have questions about defecation with bleeding, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
