A member asked:

I saw a small pool of blood around my faeces when i defeacate. would it be haemorroid rupture or any other factor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood in stool: Fresh blood in stool could be hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. In both cases, softening the stool by increasing the amount of fiber in your diet will help. If the bleeding persists, you'll need to see your doctor.
