Can A Tailbone Injury Cause Abdominal Pain And Blood In The Stool?

Hi, I have a friend who had fallen on his tailbone while playing basketball. Since then he said his stomach has been hurting and there is blood in his stool. Only once that it looked dark and a lot but is usually fresh blood but not much. His stomach has been bothering him as well since the fall. Is this comment after failing on a tailbone?

Hi,

Only tail bone injury does not give rise to stomach ache or blood in stool, but it is the associated colon injury which can be responsible for the narrated issue. Another possible issue can be hemorrhoid induced blood, noticed after tailbone injury.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
