Blood spots in stool
I have seen blood spots in stool after eating outside and from last 2 months I have burning sensation while passing motion and itching on rectal area ... After eating food I feel bloated all the time and sometimes constipation...what could it be ?
Hemorrhoids: Swollen blood vessels in the rectum that can cause bright red bleeding, itching and discomfort during bowel movements
Anal Fissures: Small tears in the anal lining from straining during constipation, causing pain and bleeding
Constipation with Secondary Issues: The bloating and straining can lead to hemorrhoids and fissures
Next Steps
Schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation, as blood in stool always requires investigation
The doctor will likely:
Review your medical history
Perform a physical examination
May recommend tests like stool analysis or colonoscopy to rule out serious conditions
