Getting Blood In Stool. Suggestions?

Since last week i am getting blood in my stool. The blood is not mixed with stool so i think its not coming from stomach. There is so much blood that initially it comes with stool and then in liquid form. Blood was coming continuously in each bathroom visit. there was one missed visit when there was no blood but after that i remember i ate something spicy and that day there was lot of blood also. Any suggestion is appreciated. thank you.

Hello,
Painless bleeding and coming after the stools is highly suggestive of internal hemorrhoids or internal piles.Although there could be anal fissure but in that case defecation is painful and stool comes with streaks on it.
You must consult a surgeon for diagnosis.
Generally there is lot of constipation associated when piles bleed and so you must keep your stool soft by taking plenty of fibre and water in your diet.
If bleeding occurs on regular basis then you should get get it removed either surgically or get sclerosing injections.
You have to discuss with our doctor for the treatment approach.
Thanks
