A member asked:

Hi, i smoke weed every day and i'm also on doxycycline hyclate for early stage lyme disease, i'm finding bright red blood diarrhea now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood: Usually bright red blood results from hemorrhoidal bleeding and is less concerning than a darker, purplish jelly like blood which stems from higher up. See a doctor today. Check a CBC to evaluate for anemia. Have an exam to see if you have bleeding hemorrhoids. Stop any blood thinners like aspiring. Please get help.
