Hello,

I'm a 19yr old male.

As of this afternoon around 1400 (9th August 2020). I have noticed some red patches in my stool. I've only been to the toilet to do a number two twice today, both looking the same with red patches. I have no pain in my anus, stomach or else where. When I wipe there is no blood on the toilet paper nor obvious signs of blood in the toilet bowl. The red areas a very small around 1-2mm spots. On top of this my stool is normal colour. If you could help that would be great thank you. image

    Generally blood in the poo shows up as red streaks or a completely black tarry poo dependant on where in the digestive tract the issue is.

    Most of the time red bits in poo are just bits of undigested food but if you are concerned speak to your doctor.
