Have been experiencing red blood within my stool over the course of the past year, it isn't all the time. i've also noticed a change in my stools they?

Blood in stool: Blood in bowel movements is abnormal and must be explained. If it's only tiny amounts streaking the stool, benign conditions like hemorrhoids or anal fissure are the usual causes. If the amount is considerable and bowel movements themselves are abnormal or changed, serious causes like growths, inflammatory bowel disease or diverticulosis are possible. A gastroenterologist is best to see
