What Causes Sudden Blood In Stool?

Hello, I have had a pain over my left collarbone for a few days now! And this morning when I went to the bathroom there was some blood on the paper and I saw some on the bowels in the toilet? I’m 52 years old yes I smoke less than a pack a day! I’m away from home right now and a bit worried!

Hello,

Sudden blood in the stool may be from fissure or hemorrhoid condition, which requires an examination with a consultant surgeon for proctoscopy evaluation. Primary relief with sitz bath, dietary measures to avoid spices, bulk-forming laxatives if hard stools.
