Bright Red Blood in Stool? Get Answers from a Doctor!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. It’s understandable to be concerned about noticing bright red blood from the anus, especially in a significant amount. In many cases, this can be due to conditions like hemorrhoids or anal fissures, which are common and often not serious. However, since you are experiencing a large amount of bleeding along with a persistent rumbling sensation in your intestines, it’s important to investigate further.

2. A colonoscopy is recommended to determine the underlying cause of the bleeding and rule out more serious conditions such as polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or other gastrointestinal issues. While there is no immediate need to panic, it is essential to schedule an evaluation with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, if you experience dizziness, weakness, severe abdominal pain, or an increase in bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.

Thanks
