What color is blood in stool?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?

I've been dealing with this really annoying itching around my anus for about a month now. I tried taking Zentel, but it hasn't helped at all. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should be trying for relief?
Itching around the anus could be due to multiple causes, including infections, hemorrhoids, or skin irritation. Since Zentel hasnt helped, its unlikely to be worms. Keep the area clean and dry, use an anti-itch cream like hydrocortisone, and consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation.

I had a fissurectomy about a year ago, and lately, I've noticed that my stools are really thin. I was looking this up online and came across some scary stuff about rectal cancer. Could this be related or something I should be worried about?
It's understandable to be concerned, but thin stools alone are not necessarily a sign of rectal cancer. After a fissurectomy, changes in stool consistency can happen due to factors like diet or healing. However, if you notice other symptoms like blood in your stool, persistent pain, or unexplained weight loss, it's important to consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.
