Brown stuff coming out of toilet

If you wipe out black and brown stuff when going to the toilet, this is a sign of blood in the stool. Mild blood in the stool is not serious, so you can relax and don't worry too much. If it is severe blood in the stool, you must be careful, as it may be due to recent upper respiratory tract bleeding, digestive tract bleeding, or recent consumption of red food.

There are many causes of blood in the stool. All diseases that cause vomiting blood can cause blood in the stool. Lower gastrointestinal diseases such as bacterial dysentery, amyloid dysentery, ulcerative colitis, intestinal tuberculosis, colon and rectal polyps or cancer, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc. can all cause blood in the stool. Hemorrhoid bleeding is often the same. The bleeding site is the same as the blood in the stool, and the color is also the same as that of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by blood in the stool is mostly tarry or black; lower gastrointestinal bleeding caused by blood in the stool is dark red or bright red.

When the stool is black or bright red, it is considered bloody in the stool and the following reasons should be excluded:

1. Black stools when taking certain herbs, charcoal, iron, or sodium tablets

2. Black stools when eating too much meat, pork liver, animal blood or spinach
