A member asked:

Everytime i have bowel movements and wipe i see blood, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Blood with bowel movements can be something benign (not going to kill you) like a hemorrhoid or a fissure (split in the skin) or it can be something more serious like a cancer. You need to have that checked by a doctor.
