Question 2

23 year old female finding blood in stool after wiping . ive noticed it once the other day & another time now . should i be worried ? the first time it happened i should mention that it felt a little forced/like a tear while using the bathroom ?

Accepted Answer

: If the blood is bright red it means it comes from near the outlet. Often from a crack/fissure in the purse string like closing mechanism of the outlet. The further up the origin the darker red &amp; a shift to purple or black blood would be because of breakdown. Constipation or bulky stools passed quickly can cause such cracks.

Question 6

sir i saw sometimes  a trace of  blood in stool? please tel me what i can do now? this can be happen after gape of several days?

Accepted Answer

Probably not serious: A SMALL quantity of bright red blood in the stool of a young person (like you) is usually due to a trivial cause such as anal fissure or hemorrhoid.  It's POSSIBLE that it is due to a more serious problem, but unlikely.  A rectal exam by a doctor can help make the diagnosis.

Question 7

for almost a month now when i wipe its blood on the wipe, ive checked to see if theres blood in stool but dont see any at all, its happened before but i just thought ive wiped too much and thats why i had switched to wet wipes, please help?

Accepted Answer

: The presence of blood means a trip to the doctor.  Please don't let your mind run away with frightening thoughts.  The reason may be simple and easy to correct but remotely could be more serious.  Not seeing blood in the stool may mean it's microscopic but still there. Peace and good health.
