A member asked:

What does it mean when you have a kinda bright green poop with blood, not in it but on top of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Local bleeding.: That would usually indicate a bleeding source right at the exit, such as a hemorrhoid or anal fissure. Fissures usually cause tremendous pains as the stool is passing through.
