What Causes Bleeding In The Stools?

I just went to the bathroom and saw the water turned red because blood came out. I don't have my period, don't suffer from hemorroids. I put a glove on to check the stool just in case it was mixed with blood and it wasn't, so I don't really understand why there was blood in the toilet as if i had my period?

Hello,

Some advice that I can give to you is:

-Add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas.
-Use topical treatments.
-Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
-Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
