Blood in your stool can have many causes, including: Hemorrhoids Swollen veins in the anus or rectum that can be painful, itchy, and sometimes bleed. Bright red blood is a common sign of hemorrhoids. Anal fissure A tear in the lining of the anus that can cause bright red blood on the surface of your stool. It's often caused by passing a large or hard stool. Colorectal polyps or cancer Growths in the colon or rectum that can cause blood in your stool. If left untreated, polyps can turn into cancer. Esophagus problems Blood in your stool can come from the esophagus, which is the tube that connects your throat to your stomach. This can be caused by GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), a tear in the tissue, or swollen veins from liver disease. Other causes of blood in your stool include: Proctitis Rectal prolapse Trauma or foreign body Ulcerative colitis Infection in the intestines Diverticulosis The color of the blood can indicate its source: Black, tarry stool: May indicate a bleed in the upper GI tract Bright red blood: May indicate a bleed in the lower GI tract You should seek medical advice for any blood in your stool, and seek emergency care if you notice large amounts of blood, lightheadedness, rapid heart rate, or weakness. #healthtips
