What Causes Blood And Red Firm Sphere Like In Stools?

Hi, I was just using the bathroom and and while I was pooping a red firm sphere like thing kept coming out then back in. I tried to pull on it gentl but it seems like it may be attached to me somehow. In the last month or so I ve occasionally had a small amout of blood in my poop as well but I thought it was an external cut, now I m worried. Any Ideas?

Hi,

Various conditions, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, or colon cancer, can cause blood and red, firm sphere-like stools. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional if you notice any changes in your stool or experience any other symptoms, such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or weight loss. The doctor will be able to determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
