Question 7

a lot of blood during bowel movement. what can i do to stop this?

Accepted Answer

It depends : If blood in the stoll is red, it may be from a hemorrhoid. This needs to be evaluated and treated, but is fairly common.
If the blood or stool is darker (black) and has a 'tar-like' appearance, it is more indicative of a bleed in the upper areas of the GI tract. This is more significant and needs more prompt evaluation and treatment. 
The larger volume of blood dictates treatment asap.

Question 8

had bowel movement and seen a lot of blood in comode and on tissue.

Accepted Answer

Time to get help!: Blood in stool is a warning sign. Causes of bleeding may be predictable (e.G rectal trauma, fissure, hemorrhoids with straining), but evaluation is always appropriate. A rule of thumb (but not absolute): black stool means bleeding comes from upper GI tract; grape jelly stool from small bowel; silver stool from biliary tree; burgundy stool from right colon; red blood from left colon to anus.

Question 9

the last two times i made a bowel movement there was blood. what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Blood per rectum: If you see fresh red blood after a bowel movement, you need to be seen by a physician. Bleeding can come from hemorroides (h), lesions of the rectum or distal colon. If h are not the cause, you may need to have a colonoscopy to find its cause and arrive at a cure. Good luck.
