Is it okay to go out with bloody stools with abdominal pain?
Question
Hello doctor,
I have normal stools and there is a red streak of blood in the stool. Lately, I've also been having pain in my stomach. So the doctor asked me if I had bloody stools with abdominal pain? Am I constipated? Thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have bloody stools with abdominal pain? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you have hard, hard stools, it is a sign of constipation - this is also the cause of red blood streaks in the stool. You should see a doctor to determine the cause. Besides, you should eat a lot of green vegetables, fiber, drink enough water, create a daily bowel habit to help improve constipation.
If you still have questions about passing bloody stools with abdominal pain, 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.
