Hi,

Last August I started getting blood spots on the toilet paper after a bowel movement. Upon finding this I immediately went to the doctors. The doctor referred me to a specialist. The specialist performed a Ridgid Sigmoidoscopy and said he seen two 2nd degree internal piles. I demanded further tests, however, and he booked me in for Flexible Sigmoidoscopy.

A few weeks later I had the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy and the surgeon performing it told me my sigmoid colon was fine, and the biopsies came back fine. He said he seen no piles, however. He claimed that the bleeding probably came from an anal fissure [I do not have the pain that accompanies this]

I have no pain during a bowel movement, only occasionally a burning sensation. As odd as it sounds, I felt around the anus after a bowel movement and felt a lump slightly protruding from my rectum, so i pushed it and it moved back in. A small amout of blood was on my finger. The blood is bright red and I have had a streak or two on the actual stool.

I have taken up bodybuilding again recently, and consume 30-40g of fiber a day. My stools are much larger than before I started this, and bleeding has worsened with blood being present on the toilet paper on a regular basis now, and 2 cases of streaks of blood on the stool.

Is this piles, or something more serious?

Thanks
