You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.

View allI'm having some trouble and could use your advice. Every time I go to the toilet, there's blood, and I'm really worried it might be piles. I've tried using this cream called beclomethasone, but it hasn't helped at all. Do you have any advice on other ways I can find relief or should I be doing something different?

I'm noticing that a small, round thing comes out of my anus. There's no pain or bleeding, but I'm worried about what this might be. It seems to happen when I have to push during a bowel movement. Can you help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can protrude outside the anus. To help with this issue, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream or Tucks pads. Make sure to also increase your fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Can I eat mangoes before going to bed? How long should I wait after eating one? I'm a bit worried it might cause some digestive issues.
You can eat mango at night in moderation, but it's best to have it at least 1-2 hours before bed to give your body time to digest. Eating too close to bedtime might cause discomfort or indigestion for some people, especially if they have a sensitive stomach.
