Blood in stool is usually nothing to worry about.
Bright red blood or red blood in your stool is superficial (meaning it’s fresh and occurring low/very low down in your gastrointestinal system.
Common causes of this are:
- Piles
- Fissures
- Polyps
The above are often caused by:
- Constipation
- Obesity
- Straining
- Long periods of sitting on your bottom
- Poor Diet
- Hardened stools
- Anal Sex
The only time you should be worries is when it is black/tarry/sticky stools.
Also if you experience symptoms of anaemia i.e. fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, dizzy when standing etc.
Lastly, any new changes in weight (decreases) reduced appetite, abdominal distension etc.
Do your best to actually see your GP.
Other than that, dont worry about it.
