I have blood in my stools…help.?

I have had blood in my stools off and on since I was 21. I am now 36. Last year I had a colonoscopy and an upper GI and all the doctor found was a hemorrhoid. He gave me cream and I use it regularly. However, I always get these bloody stools, usually once a month and around the time of my menstrual cycle. (The blood is coming from my anus, though). Anyway, it is always medium red in color, the entire toilet bowl turns red (not pink), and it is clotty. Today it was so bad that blood soaked the toilet paper when I wiped. The blood occurs whether I have a bowel movement or not. It is so weird…I usually feel a pain or fullness in my lower abdomen or I experience acid reflux and then it is usually relived afterward. I am not certin if this is all due to my hemorrhoid, but have a feeling that is all the doctor will attribute it toward. Any ideas if this could be anything else?
I don’t eat spicy foods and my stools are always soft…I never have hard stools.

Nope, you’ve hit everything on the head, at last, someone who knows what they talking about.
Had em for yrs, be there done that, got operated on, believe me, you do not want surgery.

Today’s method is, remember when at school you put a rubber band on finger and watched it turn blue-purple, same with above, doctors put rubber band around the H and presto after couple of weeks, falls off, self-healing in process, medical science is marvelous, too bad they didn’t work that out before my surgery.

I asked the nurse, how can you tell who’s had the operation?

She said, they the ones who scream the loudest when the antiseptic wears off. ha ha
