Would you go to the ER for this?

I have had a lot of problems with passing blood in the toilet. I was on meds that caused me to have gastrointestinal bleeding. I have not taken any more of it. Now I am having problems again with bleeding. I really don't want to go back in again because I know what is going to happen. I don't like men touching me let alone doing that type of exam. Yes I am a guy and I would rather have a lady. Not for the idea a lady will see me. I am just a lot more comfortable with women. I am sure that I am not the only one with preferences on what gender I get examined by. I have let this go for 4 days now and still pass blood. I really don't like the cleaning out procedure. I have not eaten since the 3rd. I am fairly certain that I cant have that much left in me. I get hella nervous and that makes everything worse. From my stomach to my bulging disks in my neck and then here comes the migraine. For all of you who don't know... Invisible illness sucks..

You should at least go to your GP about it. If its bright blood then it usually just means that you might have a tear/hemmoroid. Its when its dark blood that can be a more serious indicator.

@Ryannnnnn I called my GP and I got a call back from the nurse. She said that my GP didn't want to see me.. She said I needed to go to the ER.. but I figured that I would give it a day.She is probably going to give me a ration of hell because I didn't go in yesterday.
