Blood in Stool After Aspirin: Causes & Next Steps


Question
Doctor:  is it possible that a daily dose of 325mg of aspirin taken for cardiac prevention purposes could cause a positive stool sample for blood?  
Thanks

Answer
It could, but if you are really trying to be healthh conscious, then this is the screening test, which you have failed, so you now have to go to the gold standard test, which is the colonoscopy.

GOod luck with it... it isn't as bad as it sounds... just get the prep down and you will be OK
