What Causes Blood In Stools?
Hello, I was just wondering, just lately I have had blood in my stools and blood on wiping when I have had my bowels open. It has been going on for a couple of weeks, also there is mucus on wiping. It dosen't seen too bad over the last day or so, so I was wondering as to what it is. Regards, Allison.

Go to surgical specialist. He will do digital rectal examination and also PR proctoscopy and will see if there are bleeding hemorrhoids or fissure
