A member asked:

My poop is green and has blood in it. should i be worried? my mom says it's hemorrhoids because i have blood in my stool often but not all the time.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rectal bleeding. : There are a few causes of bright red blood in the stool including hemorrhoids, but also anal fissures, avm malformations, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.. Your age/ family history/ medical history are listed so hard to guide you more. You should consider seeing your doctor about this, have blood work to check if you're anemic, possibly have a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, full history and exam.
