asked

I’m experiencing bloody diarrhea that started last night. I had a colonoscopy three days ago. There is no abdominal pain, fever, chills, or lesions on the anus. The blood is bright red and appears only during bowel movements. I am 58 years old, have no medical conditions, and am not taking any medications. This is the first time this has happened. What could be the cause and what should I do?

I've been using Carpe on my armpits and other sweaty areas for over two years, but I'm still sweating excessively, even through the product. I'm 22, in decent shape, and follow a good diet. My dad has diabetes, and my maternal grandfather died from pancreatic cancer. I've been prescribed glycopyrrolate, but it didn't help much. I'm wondering if my excessive sweating could be due to heavy metals in my body, inflammation, or another underlying condition. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
