A member asked:
Does hemorrhoids cause blood on toilet paper only or it may cause black stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Internal hemorrhoid can occasionally cause dark stools, but it is more common to have bright red blood. Red blood is the only form of bleeding you will see from external hmorrhoids.
