Question 1

i have had some blood in my stool. i had a tooth pulled and it did bleed a lot. im thinking it is from that. its not a lot. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Blood from your tooth would be digested and come out black instead of red. If you are having blood in the stool, you should see your doctor.

Question 2

small amount of pinkish blood in stool. i've just had a tooth extraction is it related or should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

: Bright red blood in the stool can be caused by multiple gastrointestinal causes such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticulosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Discoloration can be caused by certain foods. For instance pepto bismol and iron can make the stool black. Bleeding from higher up the tract, such as ulcers in the stomach, esophagus, and duodenum, also show up dark and black

Question 3

i'm having something called blood in stool, when i go to the washroom, it extremely hurts to have a stool and i bleed a lot. please help!

Accepted Answer

Rectal exam: Your symptoms may be due to hemorrhoids or a rectal fissure. A rectal exam should be done. In the meantime take a stool softener, apply warm compresses to the anal area, and insert a glycerin or anusol suppository or ointment for easier bm and soothing of the discomfort. Keep the anal area clean after using a suppository or ointment.

Question 4

a lot of bright red blood in stool. the first bit of poop was hard, but the rest was just mush. the bleeding stopped after i was done. causes?

Accepted Answer

Hemofrrhoids: If the blood was on the outside of the stool and on the paper without any other symptoms, this is very unlikely to be anything else.

Not normal-see MD: Please see your physician within 1-2 weeks if you have blood in stool.
You need further evaluation.

Question 6

bleeding out of anus, when sitting. over a tablespoon of blood i have hemeroids, but theres no blood in stool.  just when im sitting or on the toilet.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: See a doctor and get the hemorrhoids treated. Bleeding from hemorrhoids can cause anemia.

Question 7

what to do if i have bright blood in stool and bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids bleed: Blood in the stool is never "normal". However, bright anal blood on the outside of stool is usually from hemorrhoids (swollen anal veins). They are not serious and warm baths with epsom salts and a cream like anusol will help.
However, if the bleeding is persistent, do see a doctor for an examination.
All the best,  peter wilk, md.

Question 8

i went to dr that gave me my colon test 3 yrs ago for fresh blood in stool he was fairly sure it was a internal hemorriod how long can hemorriod bleed?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding hemorrhoid: Hemorrhoids can bleed as long as they are being irritated/abraded by hard stools or frequent stools or straining to have a bowel movement. Use stool softener (not laxative) &/or increased dietary fiber or fiber supplement with plenty of fluid. Use otc hemorrhoid preps to help shrink & calm inflammation of hemorrhoids. If bleeding persists, see doc again.

blood in stool that i could not see.
having colonoscopy its been 5 years.
can this blood still be from the hemmroid?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids can cause rectal bleeding and so can other colon issues that can be evaluated with a colonoscopy

Question 10

is it normal though after having a bloody stool for so long to have the red jelly looking blood in stool or after & bleed for rest of the day?

Accepted Answer

Bloody stool: Is never normal!  jelly looking blood is suggestive of clots. This is as close as it gets to a medical emergency. Do not delay and go to the nearest full service hospital er. Have someone drive you as the risk of rapid bleeding and shock is too high to risk driving yourself.
