You have bowels that blood what could this be?
Blood in the stool (bowel movements) is a common problem that can have many causes, most of which are not serious. Some of the most common causes of blood in the stool include:
* Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus. They can bleed during bowel movements, especially if they are straining or constipated.
* Diverticular disease: Diverticular disease is a condition in which small pouches form in the colon (large intestine). These pouches can bleed if they become irritated or inflamed.
* Anal fissures: Anal fissures are small cuts or tears in the skin around the anus. They can bleed during bowel movements.
* Rectal prolapse: Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum slips out of the anus. This can cause bleeding during bowel movements.
* Colorectal cancer: Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. It can cause bleeding during bowel movements, especially if the tumor is located in the lower part of the colon or rectum.
However, it is important to see a doctor if you have blood in your stool, especially if you have other symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or weight loss.
