You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.

I've had a chronic anal fissure for the past 11 months that keeps coming back whenever I pass hard stool, even though it heals sometimes with laxatives. The doctor said it's an anterior fissure. Is there any way to heal this completely without surgery? I really want to avoid surgery but it keeps recurring when I stop laxatives
Yes, it's possible to heal a chronic anterior anal fissure without surgery, even if it's recurring. The key is to address the underlying cause, which is often hard stools and straining during bowel movements, and to manage the symptoms effectively.
