A member asked:

Can there be blood in my stool after surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What kind of surgery: Please clarify the type of surgery. With any surgery involving the GI tract, there can be some blood in the stool postoperatively, but it should not be a large amount. Contact the surgeon to see if he / she is concerned.
