Should I consult a doctor or start with a laxative?

When I go to the bathroom, I have bright blood in my stool and when I wipe. All this is accompanied by back pain.

Hello and thank you for your question,
I would recommend that you see a doctor this week as your symptoms require a medical evaluation.
The use of a laxative would not be appropriate at this time.
Thank you,
Emmanuelle
