A member asked:

I am facing a difficulty from last about a year that when i go to pass stool about 5 to 10 ml of blood passed, may be daily or after some days?

See you doctor...: Blood in the stool or rectal bleeding can be a symptom of a potentially serious problem. Don't wait any longer before seeing your doctor.

See doctor: Having blood in the stools is never normal. You need to be seen by your doctor to help you figure out what's wrong. You will likely need to see a gastroenterologist. Best wishes, ariel.
