Blood in stool: You should go make an appointment soon to go see your doctor. Blood in the stool is NEVER normal.

Call your physician: Hemorrhoids is a common condition caused by straining during bowel movements. Lifestyle modifications, medications and/or surgical procedures are necessary for treatment. Common symptoms of hemorrhoids may be a sign of other serious health problems like colon or rectal cancer and other conditions. Call your physician for evaluation and screening.
