What does blood in stool look like?
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'm really concerned because I've been experiencing constant stomach irritation and this urge to go to the bathroom repeatedly, but it only results in passing a bit of mucus. This has been going on for the past two years, and I've noticed some slight weight loss over time. All my medical reports have come back normal, my hemoglobin levels are at 14, and CRP is at 1. There aren't any other issues with my body, but there's just a lot of acid in my stomach. I'm not sure what's going on, and I could really use some guidance on how to handle this. What should I do?
try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days....Consult nearest gastroenterologist

My colonoscopy showed a bulging appendix orifice with a small tumor that hasn't grown in two years. Should I keep monitoring it or opt for surgery? I'm worried they might remove my ileocecal valve too since it's close by, and I'm not sure if the tumor is even harmful what's the best move here?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I'm feeling a really sharp pinching pain right when I start to have a bowel movement. I've dealt with constipation before, but this pain is new to meand it first happened even when I wasnt constipated. There's no medication I'm taking that could explain this. Any ideas on what might be going on?
That could be due to hard stools consume plenty of water and fibre rich diet to avoid constipation,if its becoming worse visit physician for appropriate management
