Can anxiety cause blood in stools?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SEE BELOW : Uncommon, what’s the blood like? Fresh red blood or dots of blood in the paper? Or dark blood? With any of these I strongly recommend going to a gastroenterologist ASAP. Be advised if your having constipation because of the amount of stress, try drinking more water and eating fiber + gastroenterologist visit.
