What Do Red Particles In Stool Indicate?
Hey, For the past couple of weeks after I make a bowel movement there are red looking pieces in it. Doesn t look like blood and sometimes it looks like raw meat. This doesn t happen every time I make a bowel movement but it has occurred enough for me to take notice and be concerned.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Red particles in stool, could either be blood clots or undigested meat.
2. Will require stool examination by microscopy and chemical tests for evaluation.
3. Get a complete hemogram to rule out any internal bleeding and anemia.
4. Not sure about the age, but malabsorption diseases or tumors in the GIT needs to be thought of. Based on stool examination report, further investigation possible.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again
