What Causes Traces Of Blood In The Stool?
Hello Doctor! 4 days ago, I noticed a line of dark blood on my stool. It does not seem to mix it. This lasted for two days. The first time I felt like a shot to the abdomen. Now I only have a slight burning sensation in the anus. Tomorrow I will go to the doctor. What can it be? I am very worried. Thank you.

your symptoms point toward fissure in ano which is caused due to passing of hard stools which breaks the mucosa and causes bleeding during passing stools which is also very painful around the anus.Take more of easily digestible fibre products and a lot of Water and avoid spicy and oily foods.Do sitz bath(sit in a tub with Luke warm water mixed with salt and a teaspoon of dettol) at least 4 times a day each about 10 minutes.Do visit a doctor for a per rectal examination
