Need an evaluation: It's not normal to have visible blood in the toilet and upon wiping. This could be related to hemorrhoids, an anal fissure or other problems like inflammation of the lining of the colon - there are other issues that can cause this too. You're best bet is to follow up with your doctor to better identify what's causing this as this allows you to come up with a good treatment plan.
