Question: Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor'. Please type your question here...Hey Doc, I had diarrhea for about a day now but just recently notice some bright red blood on the toilet paper when I wiped. What could be the issue?
Brief Answer:
Could be gut infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
As this is associated with diarrhoea, most likely it is due to gut infection. However, if it is just blood after all stools cleared, it may be due to local condition like hemorrhoids which is easily apparent on a local examination.
Should get better with antibiotics and probiotics. If not resolved, will need further investigations like stool exam.
Hope this helps.
Regards
