What are the implications of blood accompanying stool?

A variety of things could cause that. Firstly is the blood mixed with the stool, is the stool tarry black, or is the blood bright red and not really mixed with the stool.
Depending on the other associated symptoms and further investigation , it could be any of the following :
Heamorrhoids (popularly known as pile)
Anal fissures/tears
Diverticular disease
Cancer of the bowel
Inflammatory bowel disease
A bleeding duodenal /stomach ulcer
Polyps
Etc etc
This is not an exhaustive list though as there are many other causes.

Kindly visit your doctor for detailed evaluation and treatment.

Okay. The most common causes of that are actually haemorrhoids(piles) and diverticular disease, so try not to get yourself too worried and see your doctor.

Occasionally, people who practice anal sex, Gastric and duodenal ulcers too. As for the implication, anaemia is usually indicated. Consult your Doctor for a comprehensive Diagnosis.

I will advise you visit your doctor for any blood in stool.

If the stool is dark tarry black, one would think of blood coming from the upper GI such as a slow bleeding stomach/duodenal ulcer

If its more of maroon color, a colonic bleed is likely

Bright red, a rectal or anal bleed is likely

Mind you, appropriate tests will have to be done to fully confirm the cause of the bleeding and where exactly its coming from that's why i will emphasise that you see a doctor, because a lot times, blood in stool is usually from hemorrhoids or other benign causes and usually not life threatening, and can be effectively managed.

However on a few occasions, it can be sign of a more serious condition such as a gastrointestinal cancer.

Thanks.
