Name changed for this for obvious reasons! Sorry to those for whom this is too much info.
Last week I was a bit constipated and after doing a poo I had bright red blood both on the paper and in the loo. This lasted for maybe 24 hours and disappeared. I increased by fibre and water intake a bit but then let it drop off towards the end of the week. Today I had to strain to poo again and the bleeding has come back. Bright red blood, quite a bit of it and have been bleeding ever since at each toilet visit, but not in pants.
No real pain or itchiness.
Is this something I should be seeing the doctor about today or can it wait until next week / see whether the bleeding stops again?
For context, I am around 12 weeks post partum and had piles in pregnancy though nowhere near this much blood, just A little bit of blood and insane itchiness.
I do have health anxiety so I’m terrible for trusting my own judgement when it comes to things like this!
