A member asked:
My 5 year old daughter has blood in her stool.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Bright red blood mixed in with the stool, on the surface or passed separately is usually caused by an anal fissure: if no associated diarrhea, more than 90% of children with blood in the stools have an anal fissure. Anal fissures usually are caused by passage of a large or hard stool/constipation. Black tarry stools results from bleeding in the stomach area.
