Do you think my aunt is being dramatic?

Back in 2017 I noticed blood in my stool. So much that it could just hear it squirt out. I went to the Dr and they had me do a colonoscopy, and they found nothing. Ever since then I would get blood in my stool here and there. Every time I make a bowl movement, my anus, or whatever the f it us sticks out, and I have to push it back in. It's obvious I have hemmeroids. I told my aunt this and she tried calling my mom about it, and she won't answer so she calls my sister. She's just freaking out. I asked my aunt if me going to the Dr would make her feel better then I would, so im making an appointment tomorrow. She got drunk and just won't shut up about it. Is she being dramatic or not?

Blood in your stool is pretty serious. While it could very well be hemorrhoids what you’re describing is NOT something one should experience when making a bowel movement. And in my experience, hemorrhoids don’t cause anything you need to push back in. They hurt, and bleed, and you can’t really sit with them, but they don’t pull anything out. Maybe they can find something in a stool sample rather than a colonoscopy.


I’ve had blood in my stool twice, once was because I tore my rectum. The other was because I became infected with shigella, a highly communicable bacterial infection that happens when you ingest fecal matter, usually because someone didn’t wash their hands well enough before touching your food. There are a lot of potential issues that come with blood in stool and your aunt isn’t wrong for freaking out. When my grandfather had it, he had to get part of his colon removed entirely. It could be nothing, and going to a doctor would at least ease your family’s mind but be honest with them.

So wait, you are 31 and can't make your own appointments with the doctor? You need permission from your relatives to ok it? Or is it because you still live at home? I'm confused here. 😯🤔 Explain.

I have my own place. My aunt lives with me, and saw blood left behind in my toilet and she told me she was worried. I asked her If me going to visit with my doctor about it would make her feel better. I called to make my own appointment.

Thank you for clarifying that.

Why did you tell your aunt that information in the first place?

[Hotzone417]

She saw blood in the toilet so I told her the truth

[meepmeeperton]

So you took a shit at your aunt's house and left blood behind, wtf are you doing man. Please act your age and make your own decisions about medical stuff

[Hotzone417]

Sorry, I thought I thought I mentioned that it was at my house. My aunt lives with me. Also I asked my aunt that if she'd feel better then I'd go to the doctor just in case. I would be making my own decision.
