Blood in stools: This is not good at all. You may have hemorrhoids and you may also have some bleeding higher up in the colon. You must see a GI specialist to have this treated. Also stop nsaids.

What makes some1 wipe bright pink/red blood in later wipes? Like the 9 wipe or the 15th wipe? If someone is directly bleeding from a bowel movement wouldnt they bleed on the 1st or 2nd wipe? Could it still be cancer? Even tho they have 2 keep wiping

A member asked:

Last night I had a bowel movement and after I wiped, there was blood on the tissue and the water was bright red. I don't feel any pain at all outside of the initial movement coming out. I'm 25. Should I be worried or was it just due to a large stool?
