A member asked:

The last 2 weeks.i have had blood.in my stool not everyday but its bright red. my stomach is cold and swollen.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: The most common cause of bright red blood in the stool is simply hemorrhoids. But there are other less common causes that can be dangerous. See a doctor right away to figure it out. Good luck.
