What Causes Blood In Stool?
Hi, I had blood in my stool this morning. The night before, I took half an alprazolam and drank alcohol (not excessive, I rarely drink) could it be related to this? I ve heard many people drinking while taking medication (although it is written not too) without any side effects other than enhancing the medications effect.

Hello,
Three are many reasons that cause blood in stool. It can be:
• An anal fissure
• Colitis
• Peptic ulcers, etc.
To diagnose it is necessary to do some examinations. First of all, physical examination is necessary and then a colonoscopy, also a blood test. Treatment depends on the cause. I can suggest you a high fiber diet and a lot of fluids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
