When is blood in your stool an urgent matter?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Needs evaluation: Blood in the stool can occur because of hemorrhoids, polyps, fissures, cancer etc. Large volume bleeding should be evaluated immediately. Smaller amounts of blood should be evaluated as well but not urgently.
