What Causes Blood In The Stools?
I'm a 26 year old male that's been having blood, and muscus in my stool on and off for months now. Its been getting worse and I'm scheduled for a colonscopy but this week my stools been foamy and green and I'm going about 5 times a day. My wife thinks I should go to the ER and not wait 2 more weeks for the colon scope. What do you think?
