What Causes Blood In Stool And Frequent Diarrhea?

Hello, Yes i would love to have a couple questions answered. My Boyfriend is 22 years old and he is pretty healthy for the most part but he over the past two years has had blood in his poop about 4 different times. And he also has frequent diahrea. I am not thinking this is normal but he said he is fine.

Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM for health query.

Your boy friend is a healthy person who had blood in his motion four times over 2 years and you are worried about it.

I understand the concern behind it.

Do not worry.

A minimal bleed in the stool while passing it tight can tear the soft mucosa and might cause bleed we have three small treatable issues (1) a small tear which heals of it (2) an anal fissure (3) pressured bulging of vein,the piles.

Of course,rarely it could be a gastrointestinal pathology like inflammatory bowel disease.

But always let us consider common things first.

He is an active person with occasional bleed,so give him plenty of fibre rich food,include probiotic like yogurt in his diet and ask him to adapt a regular bowel clearance habit and things should settle.

Hope our suggestions help.

Take care.
