Dr. Daniel Popowich answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Likely hemorrhoids: This is very common for internal hemorrhoids. That being said, ALL rectal bleeding should be evaluated by your pcp and/or GI or Colorectal surgeon to ensure the diagnosis.

When I wipe after a bowel movement the toilet paper is full of blood. Could this be an intestinal problem or hemorrhoids? I'm a 26 yr old female.
