A member asked:

Is bright red in stool (not on it, or in the toilet bowl, and not when wiping) is that a concern? Could it be blood? Could it be from eating pizza or is it from something more serious? Bowel movement had no strain. Thank you?

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?
