Can I bother the doc with this?

For about the past week I have been bleeding what seems like a LOT when I poo. I do seem to be in a routine where I poo last thing before bed at night, but I have noticed this week that if I poo during the day, the bleeding doesn't happen Confused I definitely have piles which I haven't been able to get rid of since having kids, so I am used to a bit of blood now and again, but this is different to that. I definitely saw a little clot tonight.

I suppose in 'ordinary times' I would make a doc appt, but is it reasonable to try now, in a pandemic?! WWYD?

Yes absolutely I would make a docs appointment.

Thank you - I really don't want to use up resources at the moment and I suppose I am a bit in denial. I have no other symptoms of the thing everyone hopes it isn't...

Yes make an appointment. Or at least call and discuss it. Our surgery is doing a phone triage system and a call back. Hope you are ok 💐
