Hi, many thanks for the query! Bright red blood in stools is suggesting Haemorrhoides if associated with pain in anal region on/during defaecation: External haemorrhoides or also anal fissure, if no pain then internal haemorrhoides. No need to rush to ER unless there is severe ongoing bleeding. Per Rectal Examination & Proctoscopy is a must for diagnosis, to be done by a general surgeon. Take anti-spasmodics for abdominal pain. Do blood examination for Haemoglobin. Appropriate management of the haemorrhoides as per their degree to be done by a general surgeon, once diagnosis is confirmed & Hb correction if deranged. Do tests to rule out Lactose intolerance, infective etiology, parasitic infestation. Eat high-fibre diet, green leafy vegetables, stool softners, do meditation & yoga. Wish you a good health. Take care.
