Bloody stool: Blood from the rectum should be evaluated by a doctor right away! there could be a minor cause of bleeding such as a hemorrhoid, but this could also indicate other causes of GI bleeding such as colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or ulcer. Gi bleeds have the potential to lose a lot of blood quickly, so this should be treated as a medical emergency. Avoid Aspirin and go to the doctor or er!
