i have red blood at the end of my stool ?

This: is a symptom that should not be ignored. Although the most "common" reason for this is bleeding hemorrhoid(s), other causes should be ruled out!

Question 2

i woke up this morning and went to the toilet. then after i finished i discovered slight blood in my stool. please what shld i do?

Accepted Answer

Just watch: Most probably a hemmorhoid.  But if bleeding increases or you develop pain, you should be seen.

Question 3

have had blood on toilet tissue 5 weeks then stopped for 4 weeks now has been starting again slightly from hard stool 115lbs 19yo f healthy active ?

Accepted Answer

Blood on paper: Rectal blood is abnormal and must be explained, but in your case it probably is a benign situation from hard stool with possible anal fissure or hemorrhoids. Take a daily stool softener like colace, (docusate sodium) eat foods high in fiber and drink adequate fluids every day. If traces of rectal blood continue see your physician or a proctologist for evaluation and advice.

Question 4

blood in stool twice,  but suddenly stopped. ok for 3 days so far?

Accepted Answer

Further evaluation: It is not normal to have blood in the stool. A lot of things can give you blood in the stool such as bleeding from hemorrhoids, diverticular bleeding, infections/inflammations  such as crohn's, ischemic bowel, malignancy etc.  You should see and talk to your doctor about episodes of blood in the stool and you would need to get further evaluations and work-up - and colonsocopy would be one of them.

Question 5

have to go to bathroom as as finished eating and there's blood in stool?

Accepted Answer

ED: Seek care from a physician via Emergency Department or elsewhere.  It could be something benign like your gastrocolic reflex mediating severe diarrhea with irritation leading to blood in stool but this is highly unlikely.  I would get seen as soon as possible even emergently.

Question 6

my period ended 7 days ago n now restarted only light but new blood. also have to pass stools more regular last few days as do with period any help?ty

Accepted Answer

Check other sources: Menstrual cycle after your period ended 7 days doesn't seem normal for your age. Are you sure it is your period? Go to your primary care physician to do a rectal exam and guiac test  and urinalysis to determine whether this blood is coming from your stools, urine, or menstrual cycle. From there, your doctor can determine how to treat you.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Keep monitoring: It might come out with stool. Goo to ER in case of a sharp pain.

Question 8

i had bloody stools for a week now the blood has stopped and when i eat even a bit of food i have diareha that's bright yellow and  look like jelly?

Accepted Answer

Blood in stool: abnormal and concerning for rectal or colon cancer.  Diarrhea is also abnormal, but it is most likely infection.  Other possibilities are ulcerative or Crohn's colitis, diverticulitis, or ischemic colitis.  You must see a doctor for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Question 9

26 yo female. passed a large, hard stool and found bit of red blood on toilet paper. hasn't happened before and bleeding stopped. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: Many causes for rectal bleeding but the most common causes in healthy young patients are  hemorrhoids or even anal fissures. Was there any pain? Has this happened again? For now avoid constipation and straining which can worsen these conditions. Mention it to your PCP, especially if you have pain or bleeding is heavy.

Question 10

i been having blood in my stool on and off i been pushing to hard i finished the stool softener but it's when i push it will come out light red blood?

Accepted Answer

Please let you: Parents know so it can be checked.  In the meantime, stay well hydrated (at least 8 - 8 ounces glasses of water per day). Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day – get that fiber in. Stay physically active if possible.  There are a number of over the counter laxatives that can be taken orally to help pass retained fecal matter.
