A member asked:

Little 7 month old girl has blood in her nappy what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perianal fistula: This is a common finding for infants with hard or bulky stools and usually seen as bright red blood on the outside of the poo. If mixed in with the poo and darker in color it would be worth having it checked out.
