Husband (32) went to loo on Friday and had blood in the toilet and Saturday (yesterday).
Bright red blood and looked like more than a few drops in the bowl - the water looked bright red. He wasn't straining. Stung a little bit while wiping. Happened again yesterday, stung a bit while wiping but otherwise painless. Not constipated.
He's had another bowel movement today and there's been absolutely no blood anywhere. No stinging. Everything feels normal again.
I'm pregnant and have chronic health anxiety. I am very scared. He is otherwise fit and healthy.
He won't see a doctor - he said if it happened again today, he'd see a doc tomorrow. But now he feels better, he won't go. He doesn't want a rectal examination and doesn't see the point. He says it happened to him a couple of months ago, too, and went away again.
(I had something similar last year but with lots of constipation and straining, went to doctor and was examined, sent off a sample and it was all fine. For me, it was a one-off - I think I burst a blood vessel or something.)
He won't look at himself for piles, and internet makes it sound like anal fissures can take weeks to heal and hurt a lot more than a sting when you wipe.
Is he really just fine? I don't know how to stop thinking about it.
My husband is lovely, but he thinks this is my anxiety disorder taking over and doesn't want to go just to shut me up - he really doesn't think there's anything wrong. 😐
I've tried persuading him and I've tried making him understand how serious it could be, and even said that I'd make the appointment for him if it means he'll see someone...but to no avail. He just wants me to drop it - he isn't being rude, he's just had enough of me nagging him.
I don't know what to do. ☹️
