Need evaluation: Could be hemorrhoids, chronic colitis or even malignancy.  You should seek medical evaluation.

Question 2

when is wrong when you poop blood a lot?

Accepted Answer

No correct time: Bleeding in the poop is always a warning sign.  Most conditions with bright red blood, usually on the surface, are benign but uncomfortable and sometimes scary such as fissures, and hemorrhoids.  Blood can occur when there is lower bowel inflammation and rarely tumors.  If there is consistent blood in or on your poop, you should see your family doctor for analysis.

Question 3

i'm 19, lately i've been having quite a bit of blood after i poop, this goes away and comes back and i can't really decipher a pattern. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Most likely....: ....You have hemorrhoids. These are swollen rectal blood vessels. This is a common problem as people age, if they're obese, have high blood pressure, or frequently strain with bowel movements. That said, you can be young and skinny and have normal BP and still get hemorrhoids.  You still need to see a doctor, because there are other things that can do this, and some of them are dangerous. Be sure.

once in a while i will have blood in the toilet after i poop not always tho... i'm also constapated a lot too what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: Rectal bleeding is never normal. It sounds however that your's is caused by constipation and probably large stools causing an irritation and "inflamation" of your lower intestines if you see 'red blood" in the toliet.  Increasing fiber, fluids and maybe even a stool softener can help.  However, even though it is probably constipation or hemorrhoids, you still need to see a GI dr. To get an eval!

Maybe: If it is a lot of blood then yes. If not then see  her primary doc tomorrow. The is typically infection, Crohn's disease or colitis. Constipation can do this from a year in the anus or from a hemorrhoid. This is not an emergency. If there is a lot of bloody diarrhea I would go to the ER. Of streaks of blood wait till morning

for the past 2 weeks my poop has a bit of blood in it , at first it was my anus felt like it was getting smaller and it was hard to poop now the blood. i thought it will pass, but i feel something is wrong and its a bit embarrassing to visit a doctor?

Accepted Answer

Although it is: embarrassing for you it will not be embarrassing for the doctor. His/her desire is to detect and treat disease. Your symptoms are very worrisome and you would much rather find out what is going on now while something can be done than later when you may not have any options for treatment and a shortened life expectancy. Go to the doctor ASAP.
