A member asked:

Bright red streak of blood on stool. also on toilet paper. no pain. it has happened in the past. this one was more blood than usual. hemorrhoids or something more?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Even if it turns out to be just hemorrhoids, it needs to be addressed to prevent complications. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
