A member asked:
No history of colon cancer in fam. this morning my stool was hard coming out saw a drop of blood on stool. should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: One drop of blood in a hard and difficult to pass stool is normal - if it recurs, have it checked out. Increasing fiber in your diet and fluids may help. Try to have more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. They will make the stool softer, providing you have adequate fluids. Best of health to you
