Blood in stool without pain is most often caused by benign conditions like hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that can bleed without causing pain. Anal fissures, small tears in the skin around the anus, can also cause bleeding but usually cause a burning sensation. Other possible causes include polyps or minor injuries. While this symptom can be managed at home with proper hydration, fiber-rich diet, and avoiding straining, it is important to seek medical advice if bleeding persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, fever, or changes in bowel habits, as it could signify more serious conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer.
