Posted on Mon, 24 Aug 2020
Question: I fell and landed on my tailbone area. This happened two days ago. Still hurts but there is no external bruising. This morning, I had blood in my stool. However, my 2nd BM was normal. I have an appointment with a Dr. In a couple days. Should I be more concerned?

Brief Answer:
It is unlikely related to your trauma.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Direct impact to tail bone usually does not cause blood in stool.
In your case you are asymptomatic and thus the red colour stool is unlikely related to the fall.
You can wait for few days for spontaneous recovery and if symptoms persists you can opt for a colonoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
