A member asked:
Constipated 2 wks. passing soft normal colored stool and blood. is this an emergency? or can it wait until tomorrow? can antibiotics cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood in stool: If your stool is just bloodstained, most likely it is not an emergency. If you're feeling fatigued short of breath or dizzy you should go to the emergency room right away. You might need a colonoscopy as an outpatient procedure. See your doctor.
