In our daily life, what does it mean when we have blood in our stool? In fact, if the bleeding is bright red, in most cases, it is caused by anal fissure. If the bleeding is dark red, it should be caused by intestinal bleeding or rectal bleeding. The situations are different, so it is best to go to the hospital for examination.

Is the blood in the stool around the stool, or inside and in the middle of the stool? Generally, if there is blood around the stool and the blood is bright red, it is intestinal bleeding or anorectal bleeding.
