The first type is the common bright red bloody stool. The second type is occult blood, which is blood in the stool that is not easy to see; the third type is black stool. Long-term bloody stools can lead to anemia. When the anemia is severe or progresses rapidly, symptoms such as pale complexion, fatigue, and loss of appetite will appear.

1. Rectal prolapse: Rectal prolapse is sometimes accompanied by mucosal rupture and heavy bleeding, but is generally not accompanied by pain.

2. Internal hemorrhoids: When you see drops of blood after defecation, or a large amount of blood in the stool mixed with blood clots, the first thing you think of is internal hemorrhoids. Although internal hemorrhoids bleed violently, they are almost painless. It is difficult to stop the bleeding, and most people will have repeated bleeding for two or three days. When the amount of bleeding is heavy, some people will become anemic.

3. Colon diverticulum bleeding: Colon diverticulum is a disease in which the colon wall protrudes outward like small houses. Sometimes the amount of bleeding is so large that it can cause shock. Especially in case of arterial bleeding, bright red blood gushes out of the anus like a dam bursting.

4. Rectal ulcer, proctitis, ulcerative colitis: There is also a small amount of blood in the stool. Bleeding during dysentery is often accompanied by severe diarrhea.

5. Intestinal cancer: The frightening cause of painless bloody stools is rectal and anal canal cancer, as well as malignant transformation of rectal and colon polyps.
