Blood in stools is a disturbing sight for anyone who experiences it. It indicates an injury or disease of the digestive tract. The closest indicator of the likely site of bleeding is the color of the blood. Blood originating from the lower parts of the digestive tract (rectum or anus) is bright red. Common causes of such bleeding are hemorrhoids (piles) or anal fissures. Blood originating from upper parts of the digestive tract is darker in color because it is oxidized by intestinal bacteria. Bleeding from anywhere in the digestive tract needs medical evaluation. It is advisable to immediately contact a doctor if you notice blood in your stools.
