Question 1

hi, ate lots of spicy foods yesterday and now i'm bleeding when i poop. blood is bright red. what should i avoid eating? can i still go to the gym?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor?: How much blood?  First time it happened?  Spicy foods do not cause bloody stool. It may cause diarrhea, which can cause hemorrhoid a, which then can bleed.  I recommend GI evaluation.

Question 2

my butt won't stop leaking blood and poop? blood is bright red and poop is light brown. happening for  10+ hrs. i'm a 16 y/o girl. please help!

Accepted Answer

Call your doctor/ER: You need to see a doctor.  This may be something serious. While it can be embarrassing to talk about private parts and bowel movements this is nothing to mess around with.  Your doctor has seen and heard it all, and everthing you share with doctor is private.   Don't delay.  Call now.  Best of luck.

Question 5

what could be the cause of pooping bright red blood?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids: In a young person with some straining and constipation, hemorrhoids are the leading possibility. If there is a lot of diarrhea and mucus, colitis needs to be considered. Colon cancer is relatively rare in a young person but if the bleeding persists, a sigmoidoscopy should give you the answer
