A member asked:

I pass bloody stools. is this something to worry about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor...: Bloody stools are potentially a sign of significant lower GI pathology. Possible causes include hemorrhoids, anal fissures, colitis, and benign and malignant growths in the rectum and colon. See a gastroenterologist for a work-up asap. Good luck!
