How serious is blood on Stools?

by rooboo, Oct 31, 2009 10:08AM
I woke this morning with stomach pain. I went to the Bathroom and out it came. I noticed that they looked red for some reason. when I wiped I saw more red . it wasn't A bright red , more like a dark color red that cover the stool. So it is something that is not on the edge but inside. I am scared I hope this is not as bad as it seems?

If you type in rectal bleeding to google and click on one of the many sites (the Medicinenet site is particularly informative) then you will discover a number of causes of rectal bleeding.

Do seek medical advice.  Unless your doctor can confirm that the cause is one of the minor ones (e.g. anal fissure, haemorrhoids etc) then I suggest you request a colonoscopy.

Well I went Again and I noticed my stool only have blood on one side and the blood was completely red- bright red. I think It might be fissure because it stings when I go.

Sounds like hemmoroids (hemorrhoids)

if it is a bright red it could be fissure or hemorrides, but if it is a darker red it could be intestional bleeding.
