I've been dealing with some pretty persistent acid reflux for a few months now, and I've noticed blood in my stool occasionally. I consulted a doctor, who said it wasn't a big deal and that an endoscopy or colonoscopy isn't necessary right now. I'm curious, though, about what might be causing these symptoms. Could this really be something non-serious? Should I still consider getting an endoscopy to make sure everything's okay?
Despite your doctor's reassurance, it's essential to investigate the causes of your acid reflux and intermittent bloody stools, which could be related to conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or even colorectal cancer; considering your symptoms, it's recommended to seek a second opinion and consider undergoing an endoscopy or colonoscopy to rule out any underlying serious conditions and determine the best course of treatment.
