What does blood in stool look like?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?
stop eating junk , drink warm water

I've been dealing with chronic constipation for quite a while, but recently I've started experiencing some discomfort in my right groin area, and it seems to be making the constipation worse. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about this new pain, and how is it related to my constipation?
Consume more liquids and fibre rich foods for easing the constipation you can also try dupholac syrup 10ml during bed time.

I'm dealing with jaundice and I'm a bit concerned. My total bilirubin level was 4.1 mgdl about 20 days ago, and now it's down to 0.89 mgdl according to today's report. Does this mean everything's fine now? My urine and the whites of my eyes still don't look normal. What should I do at this point, and is there a specific diet chart I should follow?
don't worry it takes time to come to normal
