What to do if i have blood in stool and discharge is it a disease?

It may be ...: Blood in the stool is never "normal". Most of the time it is caused by swollen anal veins - hemorrhoids. Warm baths with epsom salts and a cream like anusol help those. However, if there is a persistent discharge, there may be an underlying inflammation or infection - a type of colon inflammation or an anal infection like an abscess. It would be best to see a doctor for an exam.. Peter wiik, md.

STD check needed?: If you have had receptive anal intercourse -- whether you are a woman or a man who has sex with men -- these symptoms are suspicious for a rectal STD, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes. If so, your partner(s) also need to be checked.
