Bloody stools can suggest a number of possible conditions. Some are completely benign, others are more serious. Some possibilities include haemorrhoids, fissures, diverticulosis, ulcers, esophageal varices, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, among others. Only a physician can properly sort out which is the actual cause.

In children, these symptoms do not usually suggest a serious health problem however you should always see your paediatrician.

If you are experiencing or have experienced bloody stools, please see a physician soon.

Please see the related links for further information.

There is a general rule that doctors go by and that is if the blood is fresh (Red) then it is harmless, usually caused by a fissure (small tear on the anus opening) or a ruptured haemorrhoid or a tear on the lining of the bowel wall.

If it is black then go to the hospital at once.

Why do you have pencil thin bowel movement?

The consistencies for the bowel movements depends on the speed of the peristalsis (the rate of speed that food is pushed through the bowel system). If a person has diarrhea, the food will move very quickly therefore causing less for the food and nutrients to be removed. So that will cause the stool to be very liquid.
