Blood in the stool or on the toilet paper
should be taken seriously and needs
medical attention. Hemorrhoids are the
most likely option but other more serious
options should be excluded first.
You may want to visit your GP and an
internist for a manual rectal
examination.A colonoscopy can be done
later if necessary.
Taking more fibers and water to make the
stool softer is the only thing you can do.
