Why is there blood in my stool?

I wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.

Female | 226

Indigestion happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. You might feel bloated, gassy, or constipated. Overeating or certain foods can cause this. Try eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and drinking more water. These steps can help digestion and ease discomfort.

Male | 54

It seems like­ your H. pylori infection, past small gut surgery, and high blood pressure­ may be behind it all. The hurt could me­an swelling, ulcers, or other proble­ms down there. Make sure­ to tell your doctor about the latest hospital trips and how bad the­ ache is. They might want to run some more­ tests or change up your meds to he­lp ease the pain.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Male | 28

One should get medical help as soon as possible. Your symptoms indicate the possible complication of your case due to hemorrhoids, for example blood clot. As for me, I would advise turning to a gastroenterologist or proctologist immediately in order to receive the right diagnosis and treatment.
