1. Check blood work
2. Repeat stool sample for occult blood
3. Colonoscopy
4. Endoscopy
It would depend on the amount of blood in the stool.
A small amount would be something that would be treated differently by different doctors.
A large amount of blood would necessitate a trip to the ER.
Is it bright red or is it black? If it is bright red you don't have to worry it is either from a hemoroid or a small cut in the rear end. If it is actually blood in the stool (dark) you may need further testing. You could have a colonoscopy blood test or even an ultra sound it will depend on what the doctor thinks is going on. Good luck
