Question
Hello doctor,
The doctor let me ask, what is the sign of blood in the stool, no pain? In the past, the blood would only seep into the paper a little with a burning pain, now it's not. Looking forward to receiving your doctor's advice, thank you.

Hello,
With the question "What is the sign of painless, dripping blood in the stool?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you have a bowel movement with blood dripping, you may have hemorrhoids. . You should go to a medical facility for examination, possibly an endoscopy to find the cause of bloody stools and treatment. The last time you had a burning pain could be due to an anal fissure, which also causes blood to drip during defecation. First, you should avoid constipation, should eat more fruits, vegetables and cereals high in fiber; drink plenty of water and other fluids; exercise regularly.
If you still have questions about blood in the stool, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
