A member asked:

I am 17, & female. i have been noticed blood on the toilet paper after i wipe. rectal bleeding. there is no pain, just discomfort. should i be worried?

Rectal bleeding: If you see blood on your toilet tissue, you need to have the cause of it discovered. See a physician to see if you have hemorrhoids causing this bleeding. If not, see a gastroenterologist and see if you need a colonoscopy to find the cause of the bleed. Rectal bleeding is never normal. Good luck.
