absolutely. start with the family doctor. this could be a simple easily-identified problem like an anal fissure or hemorrhoid (causes bright red blood or blood streaking on the toilet tissue) but one needs to rule out polyps and other causes. the doctor may recommend seeing a gastroenterologist for a further work-up. make sure he gets care. men are notorious for being very stubborn about medical visits. especially those that may involve areas where the sun does not shine if you know what i mean.
my husband often has blood in his stool. what type of specialist should he see? . he says this has been ongoing for 10+ years but recently has getting dizzy spells. should he see our family doctor first? he is very healthy and exercises daily.
