Bloody diarrhea is a potentially critical condition in which there is blood mixed in with loose, watery stools. The blood can arise from anywhere along your digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus. Bloody diarrhea is often a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding due to injury or disease. Diarrhea that contains bright red or maroon-colored blood may be referred to as hematochezia , while melena is used to describe black, tarry, and smelly diarrhea.
Many digestive diseases have similar symptoms. If you suspect you have one of these issues, don't delay in speaking with a healthcare professional. When stomach acid backs up into your esophagus — a condition called acid reflux — you may feel a burning pain in the middle of your chest. If you experience persistent heartburn, bad breath , tooth erosion, nausea, pain in your chest or upper part of your abdomen, or have trouble swallowing or breathing, see your doctor.
