Depends: If it is a lot of blood or his is feeling very ill, dizzy or any other concerns, yes. If this has been going on for a while and he is otherwise feeling alright, contact his doctor ... He may be able to see him in the office.

My mom has been constipated over a week now. She usually has hard stools but one day, she had loose stools & she saw a tiny spot of blood on her stool. Could it still be hemorrhoids from constipation if she saw the blood the day she had a loose stool?
