Why Is My Stomach Feeling Strange And Pooped Some Blood?
Hey this is fairly embarassing but I pooped blood the other day and I'm freaking myself out. My stomach has been feeling strange ever since then. I'm not really in pain or anything, and It may all just be in my head, but I'd really appreciate some expert thoughts on the subject.

Hi there,
If you had blood in your poop and it is dark brown or black in colour then you do need to visit a doctor and get yourself evaluated especially the upper part of your GI tract i.e stomach, oesophagus and Duodenum. If what you pooped out was red colored fresh blood then most probably you had hemorrhoids which you would have injured while straining to pass poop. This can be treated by having plenty of fluids and fiber in diet alongwith applying hemorrhoid cream to your inflammed area.
Thank you for your query,
Dr Arun A
