Brief Answer:
Explosive diarrhoea with blood needs treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes, you need to see a doctor for the symptoms complained of.

Diarrhoea with blood suggests an infective process in the gut. The other reason being hemorrhoids which flares up during diarrhoea.

Either case it is prudent to see a local doctor for examination and prescription of medications.

Keep sipping fluids while you see the doctor for this.
