Bloody diarrhea: Gentleman of unknown age with bloody diarrhea of a month's duration. Please bring your husband for an immediate medical evaluation. Blood in the stool or diarrhea is never normal and he needs to be evaluated by a gastroenterologist. Persistent or chronic diarrhea in itself can lead to dehydration and other issues but losing blood can lead to anemia, he needs attention ASAP please. Thank you.
