Hello,
With the question "Is it okay to have blood in the stool?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
There are 2 issues to discuss. The first is that you have a diet and sleep that is very unhealthy for the body and specifically for the stomach. You need to adjust your lifestyle as well as your way of studying to be more suitable. Because if you continue, you may have a stomach disease, but if it is severe, you will not be able to study anymore to take care of that disease. The second problem is that the stool has blood, it must be bright red blood (you don't describe how). The most common causes of red blood in the stool are hemorrhoids or anal lacerations. Some other rare cases but also to be aware of are ulcerative colitis, cancer. If you are still having blood in your stools, you should see a specialist for an examination and examination.
If you still have questions about bloody stools, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
