What Causes Blood In Stool?

I have had a lot of blood in the stool the last two times I've gone to the bathroom. The poop is also filled with red, looking kind of maroon color. I'm wondering if I should just schedule an appointment with my doctor, or if I should go to the ER? Any advice

Hello dear , hi

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Guidelines for better recovery

- Manage diet in such a way to get soft , smooth bowel evacuations with
plenty of liquids , high fiber diet .
- Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water 5 min. each 2 times
a day and additionally after passing stools ) helps great .

* If after doing the above there is same amount of blood , go to ER
if became less to half amount or so , then visit your doctor by
appointment .

Hope this will help you for sure .
Wishing you fine recovery .

Regards dear take care .
