∙ 13y agoBleeding in the stools can be a sign of cancer and should be referred to a doctor.
Most bleeding in stools is not cancer. Most cases are swollen hemorrhoid veins leaking, or excess roughage in the diet irritating the colon. Often blood in the stool occurs with overuse of aspirin or ibuprofen. Prolonged vomiting spells, pregnancy, etc., can also cause this.
This is also a symptom for very bad ulcers. It can be a symptom of liver damage from alcohol abuse.
A doctor visit is called for.

Had a ectopic pregnancy operation but keeping getting blood in stool is that normal?
Blood in your stool is never normal. Possibly, they put a hole in your bowels when the did the surgery. Please contact your doctor right now. If you are bleeding internally, or if blood is getting into your stool, stool could be getting into your peritoneum, and into your blood stream. Even if it isn't as drastic as a perforated bowel, something is wrong within your system for there to be blood that you can see in your stool. It could be hemorrhoids or even some form of cancer. Please contact your doctor; your life may depend on it.

In IBS can blood appear in stool?
Quote from the Related Link: "Blood in the stool, fever, weight loss, vomiting bile, and persistent pain are not symptoms of IBS and may be the result of some other problem." If you have blood in your stool, if it is a large amount or happens more than once, you should talk to a doctor about it.
