What is the difference between a bad bloody stool and an okay bloody stool?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See doctor: There is no normal cause of blood in the stool. You need evaluation by your doctor, and possibly referral to a gastroenterologist for evaluation.

None: Bloody stool is never good and should always be evaluated thoroughly. See your doctor or a gi/colorectal surgeon for proper evaluation.
