See a doctor: Is he having blood mixed in with his stool? Any other symptoms? Blood mixed with stool has many different causes, some of them are medical emergencies such as a bleeding ulcer. Other times, relatively harmless hemorrhoids can cause a similar presentation. It is best to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

See a doctor: A bleeding ulcer from the stomach usually gives BLACK stool if the ulcer is in the large intestine then the stool will have RED blood visible If there is always bleeding then other tests are needed.
