Question
Hello doctor,
About 4 months ago I had bright red bloody stools, about 2 times. But since then, there is no pain anymore, and there is no pain. The doctor asked me to ask if the bright red blood in the stool is a sign of what disease? Is it possible to have an intestinal disease? Please consult a doctor. Thank you doctor!
