Hello, /adv/! I've reecently noticed that I get a pain in my stomach, as if I have to shit, so when I go to take a shit it's as if I'm constipated, but then it's a sudden rush of shit. But it's not shit, just dark-red blood. I'm really concerned for my health. I don't feel like visting an ER (Too expensive, and too far away). but I might end up doing so anyway, but I wanted a second opinion. So, /adv/, Is it Colon Cancer, or just inflamed hemorrhoids?
Dude if you're bleeding like that you should probably see a doctor. I'm no doctor but I think it could be caused by several different things.

I know man, but the closest doctor is miles (About 30 or so). I live in the boonies part of Texas.

id see a doctor
EMT here, those are symptoms of intestinal bleeding which is potentially life threatening. Go to a hospital.
>but I don't have the money for that
don't you think your health is too important to be worried about that? And allow me to let you in on a little secret, medical care cannot be repossessed. If they send you a bill you can't pay then don't.
OP fill this out
when did this start
how often does this happen
what medications do you take
what other medical issues do you have
what diseases run in your family
how much do you drink alcohol
do you take dicks up your butt
could you have eaten contaminated meat recently

Today at work.
Whenever I have to shit.
None(Other then Ibuprofen when I have a head-ache.)
None that I know of.
Not at all.
No.
Not sure, I think not.

Really now? I didn't know that. I'll go see one tomorrow if I'm even alive by then, It's late here.

If money is a real issue then (keep in mind I would never advise this IRL because lol liability, so take this as a hypothetical situation) you can hold out for the next couple of days for it to resolve. Red blood in your shit is reassuring because its usually something less dangerous (like hemorrhoids or too many dicks in your ass)
But if you find yourself getting winded easily or lightheaded, or if you start having black, tarry shits, then I'd make a bee-line to the nearest ER

hospitals are 24 hours 7 days a week, EMS too
if you think you can't drive there then call an ambulance, its our job
>>18036813
Nah man, I'm too tired. It's nearly 1 AM. I'm heading to bed. Thanks for the advice, /adv/! Will post tomorrow with results.

yeah this is the key issue here, red blood is no cause for alarm (so long as its not every time you go to the bathroom) but blood the color of coffee grounds is extremely worrying as it means your intestines are hemorrhaging. Your abdominal pain is consistent with a GI bleed.

red blood can also mean he's bleeding so fast that the shit-blood doesnt have enough time to turn black before he shits it out his ass

>>18036823
if that were the case wouldn't he be vomiting blood also though
>>18036837
Only if it got into his stomach as well, right? Then it wouldn't look like blood coming out, but almost like coffee beans.
OP did you die? You describe a medical emergency which requires visiting the doctor right now.
