“Why is my stool red?”
I'm a 20 year old male, and I noticed that my stool has blood in it. Is this serious? What can be causing this, and do you think I should see a doctor?

Blood in the stool should always be a concern. The most common cause of painless bright red blood in the stool is internal hemorrhoids, however it could be something more serious. I would get checked by a doctor.
Blood in the stool. Can be hemorrhoids or other medical conditions. It is important to see your doctor.
Yes, see a doctor to test for STD or urinary or kidney disease or calculus or infection.
It's quite serious, you have to see a gastroenterologist. This is what we call lower GI tract bleeding and it could be many things. For example: Hemorrhoids, Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, and many more.
