Either way, bloody stool can be quite alarming, and most experts agree it’s not something to just ignore. Are you wondering, “Why is my poop black?” Many people don’t realize that black stool is also a form of bloody stool. It’s true, blood in stool can result in black poop or bright red blood in poop. Jan 06, 2021 Blood in stool can take many forms: pooping blood, bright red blood in stool, bloody diarrhea, bloody mucus in stool. There can be several causes of blood in stool. Find out which ones aren't cause for concern and which ones mean it's time to see a doctor.

Changes in stool (feces) color are often harmless and reflect dietary influences. The normal brown color of stool occurs due to the presence of bilirubin. Bilirubin is formed as a breakdown product of hemoglobin (from red blood cells) in the liver and is secreted into the bile, which enters the intestines.
Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can cause bloody stool.
Examination of stool may be possible, particularly on a home visit if the motion is still available to be seen. Blood mixed with stool: the blood is darker and this usually indicates a lesion on the left side of the colon or even transverse colon (often carcinoma or inflammatory bowel disease).

Is it a Myth or a Fact? Find out below

A very commonly heard expression is, 'Oh I just had bloodonce!' Blood in stool can be due to simple causes like hemorrhoids. It may also be asignal of more ominous problems like polyps or cancer. Polyps and cancer usually do notbleed continuously. Rather, intermittent bleeding is the rule. Similarly the amount ofblood should not be a deciding factor and you should always talk to your doctor. The samereasoning applies if you are given stool cards to check for inapparent blood in stools.Usually a three pack is given. Not infrequently, only one or two of those three may bepositive for blood. Whether it is one, two or all the three cards, the management isgenerally the same.

Blood in the stool can be bright red, maroon in color, black and tarry, or occult (not visible to the naked eye). Causes of blood in stool range from harmless, annoying conditions of the gastrointestinal tract such as hemorrhoids to serious conditions such as cancer. Blood in the stool should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Rectal bleeding (known medically as hematochezia) refers to passage of bright red blood from the anus, often mixed with stool and/or blood clots. Most rectal bleeding comes from the colon, rectum, or anus. The color of the blood during rectal bleeding often depends on the location of the bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Generally, the closer the bleeding site is to the anus, the blood will be a brighter red. Thus, bleeding from the anus, rectum, and the sigmoid colon tend to be bright red, whereas bleeding from the transverse colon and the right colon (transverse and right colon are several feet away from the anus) tend to be dark red or maroon colored.
