Could The Herniated Disc Contribute To The Blood In Stools?
my back is starting to feel better, after a few hours of waking. my bed is 40 yrs old, and i realize that could be causing alot of discomfort. i did hurt myself in gym (again) about 3-4 weeks ago. i believe i have a herniated disc.... could this also contribute to have a bloody stool also?

Could The Herniated Disc Contribute To The Blood In Stools?
Hello! Welcome to Ask a Doctor service! I understand your concern and would explain that blood stool is not related to the back pain or any herniated disk. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and a fibro-colonoscopy. Regarding the back pain, I would recommend performing a lumbar X ray study and changing your bed, in order to sleep better. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
