A member asked:

When. am stooling in the toilet, blood always gush out of my anus.what can be the cause.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several causes: The commonest cause of fresh blood from rectum in young individuals is hemorrhoids (painless) and anal fissure (painful). Polyps, inflammation and even cancer are also seen frequently. Therefore the best approach is to be checked by proctoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy to positively identify the cause and treat it in the same session.
