What does bright red blood in your stool mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to see a doctor: Blood in the stools is often caused by a serious medical condition like cancer. So you need to consult a doctor who can check you and find out the cause. Many times it can be something benign like hemorroids but you can not tell without the examination done by your doctor. So take this matter seriously and get checked.
