Blood in stool?!
Question:
Blood in stool?
what just happened was, i had a bowel movement. the poo came out fine, but after that was out i saw a large stream of bright red blood in the toilet. the toilet paper was also covered in blood, but i checked a few minutes afterwards and there was none there.
last week i started working out again after a long time of sedentary living. i also changd my diet from usual crap to good foods, and just yesterday was my girlfriends birthday, we splurged and had some pizza and fast food- today i was a fool and ate a turkey/bacon sandiwch at Denny's.
Oh, and the working out that i am doing is kickboxing and sambo wrestling, iv done this before but only recently got back into it. i am 21 years old and overweight by about 20 pounds. i was thinking that the blood was from my lifestyle change and possibly the horrible food i ate the past two days, as well as quite a bit of candy.
i have no health insurance and cant afford going to a dcotor just yet.

Oh for crying out loud everybody, calm down. He popped a hemorrhoid! He just initiated a strenuous exercise program after a "long time of sedentary living". Straining is known to cause hemorrhoids. Another contributing factor is his admittedly poor diet. Constipation from a poor diet can cause extremely hard stools, which in turn can create little tears in the anal canal AND rupture hemorrhoids.
These are both extremely benign conditions. Cut back a bit on the excessive straining and monitor. If your symptoms persist, you will need to consult a physician.
Good luck.
