UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF BLOOD IN STOOL

What Does Blood in Stool Mean?

Blood in stool refers to visible or sometimes hidden bleeding from somewhere in the digestive or anorectal tract. The colour, amount and pattern of bleeding can sometimes provide clues about where the bleeding may be coming from.

  • Bright red blood on toilet paper
  • Blood coating the stool
  • Drops of blood in the toilet
  • Bleeding during bowel movement
  • Blood mixed with stool
  • Dark or black stool
COMMON CONDITIONS THAT MAY CAUSE RECTAL BLEEDING

Common Causes of Blood in Stool

Rectal bleeding can have several possible causes. A proper medical examination is important before deciding on treatment.

  • Anal Fissure

    A small tear near the anal opening may cause pain and burning.

  • Piles / Hemorrhoids

    Swollen blood vessels can cause itching, irritation and discomfort.

  • Constipation

    Hard stools and repeated straining may irritate the anal area.

  • Diarrhoea

    Frequent loose stools may irritate the surrounding skin.

  • Infection / Fistula

    Burning with discharge or swelling may require clinical evaluation.

SPECIALISED AYURVEDIC CARE FOR SELECTED ANORECTAL CONDITIONS

Kshara Sutra Treatment

Kshara Sutra is a specialised Ayurvedic para-surgical technique, particularly used for selected anorectal conditions such as certain types of anal fistula.

The procedure involves the use of a specially prepared medicated thread under specialist supervision.

Please note : Kshara Sutra is not a general treatment for every case of blood in stool. The underlying cause must first be identified before treatment is recommended.
