A member asked:

I noticed a few days ago my daughter had what looked like blood in her poop. today i still see traces of blood but now it's darker. i have a pic. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipated ?: Bright red blood on the outside of a stool is usually from a scratch/fissure in the outlet. Bulky, lumpy or hard stools often will cause this. Darker blood mixed within the poop can indicate blood from further up in the system, a polyp or a bacterial infection. This is the HT general information site. We cannot view pictures/lab/x-rays/etc. There is a concierge site for such activity.
