Blood just came out when I pooped?!


Question: If it was fresh blood (light and bright red) then it was hemorrhoids or constipation and not much to worry about. If it was old blood (dark and tarry looking) then I would go to see your doctor about having some GI work done. I have been through this before. They have always told me that this is the first rule to follow. The second one being if it persists for several days then see a doctor. Usually when it is fresh blood, it is just from hemorrhoids or constipation. If you strain too hard, you can cause small tears down there. It is similar to the reason that women have an episiotomy when having a baby.

sure it wasnt tomartoe? lol might just be piles

Could be because you ate something red or maybe you had a small tear down there. If it was a light red it probably isn't a big deal. If it is a darker red it could be more serious. Either way I would go to the doctor if it lasts for more than a day.

Um...ick!

See a GI (Gastroenterologist) as soon as possible, and dont put it off because in the long run It could be something really serious. See your doctor immediatley.

You don't say how old you are. It could be hemorrhoids, it could be colon cancer, or a number of other reasons.
Get a check up with your doctor and tell him about it.

Add more FIBER to your diet, and drink lots of fluids. Bulk-forming laxatives may also help relieve constipation. Check to see if any medicine you are taking could be causing constipation


Of course the bleeding will look like a lot more when it is mixed with water in the toilet. Darker blood that turns the stool nearly black and looks like coffee grounds is usually more serious than bright red blood.

However, it is not normal and deserves medical attention either way.

Best to see a doctor as could be several things. Keep track of any other symptoms to tell doctor.

it sounds like your having a bleeding hemorrhoid, calm down, and drink lots of fluid and increase your fiber intake slowly so u don't get constipated. if its really bothering u call your Dr. office, depending on your age the wonder goes up, so relax, if the bleeding isn't coming out on its own relax.
