Blood if stool stays in water

2017-11-25 20:16:54
One day I forgot to flush my stool and noticed that there was red color accumulation in the water near the boundary of the stool after 3-4 hours. To confirm, I did this a couple of times and I noticed that the red color is not in my urine or fresh stool. It appears only when the stool is left in water for some time as if something gets diffused in water from the solid waste after getting soaked. I am really worried. The time does not coincide with my period. Please help.

Hi if you are worried that this may be a blood which is accompanying the stool then get a stool for occult blood test done, the result will be ready in one day. Don't give during your periods. Painless bleeding can happen in piles which goes unnoticed
