A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood : Blood in the stool should lead to a thorough evaluation. It can be caused by anything from hemorrhoids to malignant tumors, so it's not something to ignore. In all likelihood, you'll need a colonoscopy. Fortunately, there are a lot of benign problems that cause this type of bleeding, and it often stops by itself.
