Question 3

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Would recommend that you mention your symptoms to your doc. Inflammatory bowel disease would be of concern. Cancer is always possible, but not likely.

Question 4

blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

Not normal, get help: Blood in stool is a warning sign. Brisk bleeding warrants emergency care. Causes of bleeding may be predictable (e.G rectal trauma), but evaluation is always appropriate. A rule of thumb (but not absolute): black stool means bleeding comes from upper GI tract; grape jelly stool from small bowel; silver stool from biliary tree; burgundy stool from right colon; red blood from left colon to anus.

Question 5

what causes blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

A lot of things: Many things can cause blood in the stool (i presume you talk about bright red blood and not black tarry stools) including simple things like hemorrhoids or fissures or more serious things like colitis, polyps, or even cancer.  Any blood in the stool should be evaluated.  Visit your family doc and he/she will likely send you to a gastroenterologist.  Best to you.

Question 6

seen blood in stool and urine?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Not much here to go with, but you need to get checked out.

Question 7

can palafer cause blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

No: Palafer usually refers to iron supplements. It can make your stool appear black and possibly look like bleeding but usually i would expect such a medication being used for people who have blood loss from other causes such as GI related diseases. Patient should see a local gastroenterologist if any signs of bleeding reported in the stool.

Question 8

passing  bright red blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

Please see your: Doc right away.  He/she will diagnose the type of bleeding and help you.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

17 year old boy with blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

Various things: Bright red blood can be an anal fissure. Blood mixed throughout stool warrants a visit to the doctor. Bloody loose stool could be salmonella or similar bacterial infection. Can also indicate a polyp. If persists more than a day or two see the doctor...And if accompanied by fever or intense cramping see doctor.

Question 10

what causes bright red blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Not much else besides bleeding.  If bright red blood, you need to see your doctor.  Most likely cause is hemorrhoids.  Hope this helps.
