I have gas in my stomach, pain near my tailbone, and frequent small bowel movements for the last 4 to 5 days, and today I noticed a drop of blood in my stool. What could be the reason?
Gas, tailbone area pain, and frequent small bowel movements may occur due to bowel irritation, infection, or piles. A small drop of blood in the stool can sometimes happen with straining or a minor tear in the anal area. Drink enough water and eat light, fibre-rich foods to ease bowel movements. Consult a doctor if the bleeding continues or the pain becomes worse.
