Internal hemorrhoids make sense, although nothing seems to trigger it and I don’t feel any pain. Most of the time I don’t even realize until I look in the toilet. It happens so randomly. The doctors initially thought it was bacterial ulcers because they didn’t feel anything during the examinations. I’ve never had a colonoscopy only rectal examinations.

I’ve been going to doctors for it since I was like 16. No one’s been able to pinpoint the cause yet, but thank you for your insight!

Any chance you know what it means when the blood is sporadic in timing and volume, and has no discernable cause, but is also red.

I’ve had bouts of blood in my stool since I was a teenager. No doctor has ever been able to explain it so it’s just something I live with.
