A member asked:
Is blood separate from stool less likely to be serious? it happened to me today and i don't know what the cause is

Blood is blood.: Look as a general rule, we generally like blood to stay inside the body, right? When blood decides to leave the body, there can be simple reasons and there can be serious reasons. Hard to tell, but it would be wise to investigate this further.
