What does it mean when you hhave a bowel movement and it has bright red blood and blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.

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?
