Could Drainage Of Blood During Bowel Movement Be Symptom Of Haemorrhoids?
I have notice blood when I have a bowel movement. There has been a drop in the toilet and also some on the toilet paper when I wipe. I don t have any pain or itching and really no other symptoms. Could this still be a hemorrhoid? Is it something that I should be concerned about?

Hi
Fresh blood will give bright red colour to the stool and anal fissure, hemorrhoids and tumours could be the cause.
Any history of constipation or diarrhoea,abdominal pain,mucus in stools should be ruled out. Maintain high fibre diet,adequate hydration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
