There are many ways to go to the toilet with blood. But in any case, such a deviation should not be ignored. After all, it indicates a number of serious diseases, the treatment of which is undesirable to be postponed for a long time.
So, let’s take a closer look at why many patients turn to doctors complaining “I go for a lot with blood”.
The main symptoms associated with bleeding
- Bloody stool.
- Blood in the stool.
- Bloody feces.
Streaks of blood in a liquid or normally formed stool
The reasons for this deviation can be both benign and malignant tumors of the digestive tract. In addition, you can go to the toilet mostly with blood with the development of ulcerative colitis, intestinal diverticulum, or Crohn's disease. Of course, this is an incomplete list of why such a deviation occurs. However, we named the most likely and common causes that correspond to the above symptom.
Unchanged scarlet blood stream not mixed with stool
If you go to the bathroom with blood that is not mixed with stool and looks like a thin or thick strip, then most likely you have bleeding from hemorrhoids or anal fissures. In the first case, the discharge may have a bright red color without clots. With hemorrhoids, blood appears during or immediately after defecation.
If the cause of this deviation is an anal fissure, then the portion in the feces is not very significant. Blood appears during stool or immediately after it.
A constant scarlet stream is also characteristic of colorectal cancer. In this regard, at the first bleeding, you should immediately consult a proctologist for a digital examination, and in case of urgent need, such procedures as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy.

You can go to the toilet with blood, which is mixed with loose stools, as a result of heavy bleeding from any part of the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, the rather dark color of feces is due to the fact that red bodies under the influence of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, significantly changed their color. The most common causes of this deviation can be erosion and an ulcer of the duodenum or stomach, as well as varicose veins of an organ such as the esophagus, a peculiar manifestation of cirrhosis of the liver, toxic substances that enter the body, some drugs and iron-containing vitamins. It is also worth noting that massive bleeding may be associated with malignant neoplasms of the digestive system.
To summarize and list in order, for what reasons you can go to the toilet in a big way with blood:
- the appearance of hemorrhoids;
- anal fissure;
- polyps;
- Crohn's disease;
- bowel cancer;
- diverticulitis or diverticulosis;
- peptic ulcer of the stomach or intestines;
- stomach cancer.
As you can see, blood in the stool can indicate many serious diseases. In this regard, you should not pull with a trip to a proctologist, since a timely detected pathology is almost always amenable to quick and painless treatment.
