My husband felt blood coming from his butt.?!


Question: He said when he went poop earlier the first one hurt a little bit and when he wiped there was blood on the toilet paper. About 20-30 minutes later he was playing his video game and he said he felt wet back there so he went to check it out and there was a little more blood. Does he need to go to the hospital?? Oh and he said yesterday he also had a little blood on the toilet paper.

Could be haemorrhoids or just dryness in the area. Try some cortisone ointment or Preparation H for now. Tuck's wipes help too - they cool everything down. There are several things that exascerbate the problem - dehydration is a biggie. Tell him to drink lots of fluids - the colon's main purpose is to draw water out of waste material, so if you're dehydrated it makes the matter denser and dryer so it's difficult to pass. Consistent bearing down causes varicosity (bulging) of the veins in the area - that's where 'rrhoids come from. Adding veggies and supplemental fiber is also helpful, just be careful of the fiber stuff - have him try it out on a day where he's going to be close to home! Another thing is excessive or overzealous wiping - get those flushable wipes (ones without alcohol are best) to clean up, then pat the area dry with regular TP, don't wipe or rub.
If it seems to be an awful lot of blood, it won't let up or if there is actual blood within the movement (it won't be bright red, it'll be dark) then get him to the doc posthaste.

Good luck!
EDIT:
Red blood coming from the anal area immediately after a movement is NEVER a sign of cancer. If your husband is significantly concerned, by all means have him see his regular family doctor. Sheesh, people - way to scare the crap out of this poor lady!

Sounds like hemmaroids. Needs to see doctor, not ER.

there could be some thing wrong eith his intestinal track go to the hospital to have it checked out!

yeah i have this to, i dont know what to do though.

Blood from the butt can also be a sign of colon cancer. The more blood there is the worse it is. He should have a doctor check it out.

he needs to go to the hospital like right now. blood is a sign that something is terribly wrong. go now!

Go and see a doctor as soon as you can. It could just be a small tear or fissue somewhere like if it hurt maybe it was a hard stool and he was a little constipated. So in that case it wouldn't be anything to worry about. Could also be haemorrhoids which are irritating but not particularly dangerous. You don't say if it was bright red blood or darker, in the stool or not, but bleeding there can also be a sign of more serious things like cancer which is why he needs to see a doctor just to rule them out.
