    Blood clot in bowel movement
    Hi I'm 24, 62kg, 5"7
    I went to the toilet and noticed a small blood clot after I finished my business. There was no pain but for the past couple of weeks my legs get sore from standing after 5 minutes and I get white spots on them and my feet get swallen every now and then. I haven't been to a doctor as I thought nothing of the legs but now this has happened. Does anyone have any ideas as I'm a little worried on what the doc will say so just want to know what I may be looking at??

    I can't be specific, but generally speaking if the blood was from your gastrointestinal tract it would be almost black. So rule out that and that is the more serious issue. Or it could be from an anal fissure which in itself is serious enough. I can't relate this to your other symptoms of legs getting sore, white spots and swollen feet, they are related to a whole other issue.

    Given that we can't diagnose on the internet, I didn't want to leave you hanging with this so best bet is your doctor, of course you already know that.

    Time to see a doctor. Red bright blood can be from things like hemmorrhoids, the intestines are very rich with blood vessels. As far as leg swelling you should go get that all checked out. Could be a host of things. Good luck to you

    We can't even give you an idea about what this may be. This literally could be hundreds of things.

    I would really suggest seeing your doctor.

    Don't worry until there's a reason to.

    Good luck.
