Bleeding: At your age I would not worry about it but make sure that you keep your bowels soft I do not develop any constipation as that caused more causes more irritation around the rectum

Question 2

what could cause blood on toilet paper after bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Most likely is hemm, or rectal tear, fissue or cut, but sometimes it can be from something more serious, like colon precancer or cancer or other bowel conditions so you should see a GI specialist or a general surgeon who specializes in colo-rectal for an evaluation.

Question 3

blood on toilet paper after bowel movement, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

See GI doctor: The bleeding may be from anal disease (e.g. Hemorrhoids), but you need a physical exam and a more thorough history as well family history to make sure it's not something more serious. The best thing to do is see a GI doctor.

Question 4

slight red blood on toilet paper after bowel movement. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Blood streamed on the toilet paper is typically due to a fissure or hemorrhoid. However even slight bleeding can come from more serious things such as a polyp or growth in the colon as well as colitis.

Question 5

blood on toilet paper after bowel movement. maybe a tiny bit on stools?

Accepted Answer

BRBPR: This may just be hemorrhoids from straining but bleeding from rectum (brbpr) may also indicate anal fissures, proctitis (due to infection, inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, stercoral ulcers, rectal prolapse, trauma, etc.) or a bleeding source further upstream. Depending on your age, risk factors, current medication (aspirin, nsaids, anticoagulants can cause bleeding), see your doctor.

Question 6

noticed bright blood on toilet paper after bowel movement followed by further tiny specks then nothing.since then all is ok might this be cancer ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Sounds like hemorrhoids. However if you haven't had a colonoscopy, now is the time to get one as you are over age 50. All the best!

Question 7

is blood on toilet paper after a bowel movement a common sign of colon cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: The most common causes of blood in the toilet paper are perhaps hemorrhoidal bleeding or bleeding from anal fissure. That does not mean that other causes like anal cancer/rectal cancer can't  give that presentation. So, see your doctor and discuss further with your doctor. Further evaluation will need to be done- including direct examination, GI work-up like colonsocopy etc as indicated.

Question 8

i had bright red blood on my toilet paper and in the toilet after a bowel movement . i have had problems with hemorrhoids.is it hemorrhoids?

Accepted Answer

Probably: This would be the most common cause of bright red rectal bleeding in a young adult with a history of hemorrhoid problems, especially if the blood is on the TP or free in the toilet bowel and not mixed with normal appearing stool. Constipation is contributory. If it persists, you should be evaluated to be sure there is not another more serious cause.

Question 9

have blood only on toilet paper after a bowel movement what could this be been digno with hpv cervixs not invasive high grade need leep?

Accepted Answer

Probably not vaginal: The bleeding sounds like it's coming from your rectum, not your vagina. Especially if it's only with bowel movements. Have you been constipated? Do you have hemorrhoids? See your doc.

Question 10

why do i have a blood clot on the toilet paper after a bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Anal bleeding ?'s: A clot seen after a bowel movement may simply represent hemorrhoids in the rectum, or a constipated bowel movement may tear the sensitive rectal/anal tissue.  If this is a regular happening, see your gyn physician for an exam and diagnosis.
