What Causes Blood In Stool?

Question: I am seeing bright red blood in stool. I have no other symptoms. Looks like there is a slight tear, which I am not sure. Other that red blood in stool, I have no other issues
Brief Answer:
Fissure in Ano most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query on HealthcareMagic,
I do understand your concern.
With such presentation in my clinic, I would first rule out anal fissure by doing a physical examination of the anal region only.
If confirmed, you may be advised conservative treatments like eating a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of fluids and do regular exercise and if the pain is there you can take sitz bath 3 times a day.
Regarding medication, you can try prescription medication [Nitroglycerin rectal ointment].
Hope that helps
