Blood in Your Poop
If you see red-colored stools in the toilet, it can be due to ulcerative colitis. The blood can come with stools due to flaring ulcers and/or minor abscesses in the colon. It is important to distinguish between hemorrhoidal bleeding caused by ruptured anus vein and ulcerative colitis bleeding. If you have bloody or mucous diarrhea, make an appointment to get it checked with your doctor.
Of note, the blood will be fresh and bright, cherry red (most of the time). It signifies that the origin of bleeding is somewhere near anus – i.e., rectum or colon. If your blood is occult or dark brown in color – it can be due to some other gut conditions such as ulcers in the stomach.
