A member asked:

What could cause blood on toilet paper after bowel movement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Most likely is hemm, or rectal tear, fissue or cut, but sometimes it can be from something more serious, like colon precancer or cancer or other bowel conditions so you should see a GI specialist or a general surgeon who specializes in colo-rectal for an evaluation.
