5. Blood in Stool
Blood seen in stool might be one of the most terrifying of symptoms, but it’s not always as serious as most people think; sometimes it’s a mistaken case of adding something with colorant to your diet and forgetting about it until you go to the bathroom again – other times it can be perforations in the colon or anus causing minor bleeding.
An occasional minor amount of blood in stool might happen once and be ignored or forgotten, but once it happens again, it becomes something far more serious that will likely need medical intervention.
It can go together with diarrhea but sometimes might go together with constipation instead. Never take one singular symptom as a definite sign. Instead, see your doctor and remember to mention as many of the experienced symptoms as you can in order to make their job of a proper diagnosis a lot easier for your doctor.
