Blood in Bowel movements?

Last 3 bowel movements had bright red blood on toilet paper and some in toilet. I had a endoscopy and colonscopy done about a month ago. Gastro said he removed 9 polyps but none were cancerous. This was just a routine screening because I'm over 50. He said i will scope upper and lower. Do you think this is anything to worry about. Never had bright red blood in bowel movement before. I figure can't be anything serious or it would have shown up a month ago. What do you guys think.

    I had a family member who went through something similar and he got really sick from it, because he was losing too much blood, really too stubborn to see a doctor, his health detoriated so much in a few weeks it was scary, he could barely walk or talk so finally family convinced him to go to the hospital, that saved his life.

    You might be fine but doing a quick google search of your symptoms wouldn’t hurt, and if you start feeling any worst, you should go to the doctor immediately, good luck

    Probably nothing much, but you could have a CEA blood test that will tell if you have colon cancer or not.

    More than likely you have what is called (homouptheanus syndrome) Basically, instead of a normal anus, you have the anus of a premature homosexual Asian boy. Not to worry though, your body is just in the healing process right now! Soon you will be having painless, clean anal without bloody stools like your friends. Best of luck! I hope this helps.

    I would be really worried if I were you. Have a trusted friend, neighbor, or coworker thoroughly probe your anus and rectum for anything unusual. They should use a flashlight and rubber gloves. If they find anything, then see a doctor immediately.

    If you're not constipated or having severe diarrhea that would cause irritation of the vessels lining the rectal area, then it would be good to call the doctor. Stay hydrated.
