Noticing blood in your stool should not be ignored and requires a thorough medical evaluation. It may be caused by minor issues such as haemorrhoids (piles) or anal fissures, or by certain medications, but it may also indicate more serious conditions such as gastrointestinal infections, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or colorectal cancer. You should see a gastroenterologist to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
