What Causes Blood In Stools?
Hello, Doctor. Recently, I had seen blood in my stools. There are no other symptoms, just that. I ve been sleeping late for almost 2 months now. Some people say that it might be some effect of Anemia or something. I don t know what I should do. I m only 16 years old, and I m scared.

Hi,
You may be suffering from hemorrhoids or fissure. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Eat high fiber diet and drink plenty of water and liquids.
Avoid spicy food and unprocessed carbonates. Use Metamucil or Benefiber for bulk formation of stools. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu,
