Blood in stool can be due to:
1) Local bleed or
2) Bleed from up above.
Local bleed is associated with frank, fresh blood. Is it associated with pain? Irritation? If yes, it indicates external piles.
Bleed from up above can be due to numerous causes. Does the blood splash out with each stool output? If yes, indicates an underlying serious condition and you might need to see a gastro specialist right away! Either way you need to be investigated by a scopy.
