• Blood in bowel movement
• Red stool or streaks of blood in poop
• Bleeding from the rectum
• Blood after pooping
• Occult blood in stool .

Causes of Blood in Stool

There are various potential reasons why you might see blood in feces, and not all are serious. However, a proper evaluation is crucial to rule out underlying conditions.

Common Causes Include:

• Hemorrhoids and blood in stool: Swollen veins causing painless bleeding during bowel movements
• Anal fissures: Small tears in the anal lining, often due to constipation
• Diverticulosis bleeding: Pouches in the colon wall that can bleed
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD): Including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease
• Colon polyps or colon cancer: Especially if you’re over 45
• Gastrointestinal bleeding: Due to ulcers, gastritis, or medication side effects
• Internal bleeding or digestive tract bleeding
• Bowel movement issues or constipation

At Curis Life, we follow a precision-guided approach to diagnose and treat blood in stool. This means understanding the unique physiology, genetics, diet, and stress triggers in each patient.
