A member asked:

What can be done to find the source of bright red bloody stools that lasted just a few days and hasn't happened again for two weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hemorrhoid or ?: You need to see a gastro-intestinal specialist or a colorectal surgeon. Even a general surgeon can help you with getting an exam in the colon and rectal area. Hemorrhoids are the most common issue, but thinks like colitis, diverticulosis, polyps or colon tumors can cause rectal bleeding. I recommend finding out what is causing this problem.
