Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Bright bleeding in stool comes from lower gastrointestinal tract. If you have dark bleeding then it comes from stomach. Still you should go for endoscopy to search the cause of bleeding. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
