A doctor has provided 1 answer

When was your last screening colonoscopy? If ,after multiple loose stools, you went a few days without a BM, your stools could be somewhat hardened enough to open up a hemorrhoid. In my opinion, a spot of fresh looking red blood isn't enough to rush to a colonoscopy. Should there be more blood with your BM's I recommend notifying your MD,who knows your history for instructions & advice re testing
