Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Blood in stool needs thorough investigations to find out the cause.
Common causes are piles, fissures, intestinal infection, polyps, mass etc.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of anal canal today rule out piles and fissures.
Also get done stool microscopic examination, ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out above mentioned abdominal causes.
Treatment of each one is different.
So better to first diagnose the cause and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
