I have blood dripping from my anus. The blood is bright red and is a constant drip. I am 52 years old and had a colonoscopy about 9 months ago. Is there anything else important you think the Doctor should know?

I got my ribs and chest on the right side smashed by a horse two weeks ago. I went to a doctor, who gave me pain meds that are not helping.

My son has bruising on his penis and his scrotum is swollen. He also has a high fever, and people are saying he was abused, but I was with him all day and nobody touched him. Can it be something else?
