A member asked:
I do not have hemorrhoids or a fissure, yet i still leave large amounts of blood in the toilet after defecating. what can cause this? is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many causes of non hemorrhoidal upper and lower GI bleeding and all serious and need immediate evaluation and colonoscopy most likely, barring other history or physical findings that would lead to other differential diagnostics.
