Colorectal Bleed: This means you need to see your doctor asap to do a complete history and physical including comprehensive lab work. Your doctor will have to do a rectal exam to check for hemorrhoids and recommend the appropriate treatment. If there is no sign of hemorrhoids, you will likely be referred to see a gastrointestinal specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

See a doc/GI MD soon: Blood in stool can be from hemorrhoids, inflammation, polyps, other growths, pockets in the colon wall (diverticulosis), fragile blood vessels, poor blood flow to colon, other. Don't know your details, but you need to get checked-soon.
