A member asked:

Hey so i saw little red stains in my stool my poop looked fine but i saw little red lines but not much, i do have photos cause im not sure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood in stool ?'s: Constipation or forced rapid expulsion of stool can injure small blood vessels in the terminal rectum/anus which will leave streaks of bright red blood on the surface of the stool expelled. This is generally not a concern.
