Blood In My Stool After A Car Accident
I was involved in a car accident about 6 days ago and didn t have any noticeable injuries . Now I m seeing bright red blood in my stool. Not every time I have a bowel movement but it s happened twice and only when I strain to move my bowels. What do you think I ve damaged?

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
You pass bright red blood in stools but it was twice when straining suggests that you are probably having piles.I guess it was not a major accident so damage is unlikely since there is no damage elsewhere.Please get examined by a doctor it must be piles .Don't strain too much for stools;eat fiber rich diet;fruits & enough water & the bleeding should be controlled ;if it is still there consult a doctor.
Thanks
