Blood in stool
My friend complained about having blood in stool. She got scared after seeing it. This happened twice on the same day. It didn't happen again after that day. It has been two days since. She also felt a little pain in the belly that day and the pain wasn't too much. What could this be? Is it a cause for concern? Whom (any specialist) should she consult about this? Thanks in advance.

Hi if this bleed is not associated with pain than is generally due to piles and quantity of blood should be more. If this is associated with pain and quantity is less than this is due to fissure. At times there may be sigmoid colitis which leads to cramping lower abdominal pain and may cause passage of blood in stool. Other causes ate presence of polyp / malignant growth. You should avoid constipation, as this is the cause for piles/ Fissure. it's better to get evaluated , a short scopy done to rule out the underline problem. Take salads in each diet. Take plenty of water. Get your self evaluated soon. feel free to ask any further quary.Take care.
