What Causes Blood In Stools?
I started University in September, since then I have been heavily drinking 2-3 times a week. Recently I have been getting blood when I poo, sometimes a little, but sometimes so much it turns the toilet water red. Are the two things linked? And should I be worried?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids.
Alcohol can trigger the symptoms. I suggest you use an over the counter anti-hemorrhoid cream such as Preparation H.
I also recommend soaking in warm water for relieving.
I suggest avoiding caffeinated drinks or alcohol which can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
