Hi all, today dd shouted me to bathroom, she said she had come over all hot whilst playing had gone to bathroom and noticed a mark on her pants. It's def coming from her bottom, doesn't smell like poo but looks like brown discharge or possibly old blood. This has happened before where she didn't feel quite right then leaked definite blood from her bottom. The first time it happened I dismissed it as a fissure or something. Now I'm worrying a bit and trying to get her an app with go before we go on hols on thurs.

Dd has always had a delicate tummy and when she needs a poo she needs to go right then that second no waiting around! We have to be careful what we feed her or she will spend hours in the toilet. Holidays abroad often end in her spending most days in the toilet with a stomach upset :(

Are these linked? Ay thoughts anyone? It's def not her period as I did triple check and its coming from her bottom

These things always happen before holidays! Sorry to hear you are worried about your DD. fresh blood on wiping could be piles. Old blood could be a pile slightly higher up? Try not to worry (easier said than done I know), make an apt with Dr and see what they say.
