Hi,

As per your complain you have problem of blood in stool that may be because of hemorroid problem. Hemorroid is a dilated vein that bleed while excessive straining at toilet time. Internal or external hemorroid commonly cause blood in stool problem.

Other intestinal condition also cause blood in stool. Intestinal polyp or diverticular disease also lead to blood in stool. Intestinal ulcerative colitis may ruled out. Anorectal examination is helpful to diagnose hemorroid or anal fissure problems.

Colonoscopy can done for further diagnosis. Stool sample test is helpful to detect any infection present or not. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Proper history and investigation give exact idea about problems.

I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
