The presence of blood in the stool requires a proper medical check-up, as the causes can range from mild to serious. Common causes include haemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, or certain medications, while more serious causes may include gastrointestinal infections, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or colorectal cancer. You should consult a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
