Answers:

You need to go to the doctor. It will be a bit embarassing, yes. But doctors are very used to that kind of thing, I had bleeding and they were very helpful. You will also have to write down in a diary the days its happens, and what you've ate ect.. It will help narrow it down. If you have something wrong in you, then the food diary will make your diagnosis a lot quicker because the doctor will be able to see straight away what you have been eating. If the blood is bright red, then its fresh and has came from near your bottom, it could be a tear. If its a darker colour then its higher up, and if its black in your poo then its from your stomach. Tell your mother/father, and go to the doctors, it will be alright :)



If the blood is bright red then it is more than likely hemorrhoids .... talk to which ever parent you feel more comfortable with.

It could be more serious like Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Irritable Bowel Disease.

Talk to adult and good luck



There are many things it could be, one of the most common causes however is an anal fissure, basically a little cut in the rectum that causes bleeding, for the best diagnosis you have to see your doc

Could be hemorrhoids. Tell your mom.
