Question:

Are you supposed to bleed when you pooh?


Answers:

hi amanda,you were probably scared when you first saw blood in your pooh.i just had this same problem and it scared me.here are some important things to check.if the blood looks like it is fresh blood meaning bright red,then it probably is nothing to worry about.it is either hemroids or a minor flesh tear that will heal within a week.bright red blood is an indication that is close to the exit cave (im being nice).if the blood is dark red then you should go to the doctor because this indicates that the blood has been in your digestive tract for at least 12 hours or longer.blood turns dark because bacteria has had a chance to get to it.this could mean minor to serious problem.so remember,bright blood,wait a couple days.dark blood,call the doctor.hope this helps
