A member asked:

I have just found a small of what seems to be blood on the end of my stool. what could it be. i'm freaking out.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably hemorrhoid: If it's bright red blood and on the outside of stool at the end or on the toilet paper, and you don't have any other signs or symptoms of an abdominal issue, it is likely due to a hemorrhoid. If you have a family hx of colon cancer or you have significant abdominal symptoms you might want to have someone take a look. Hemorrhoids at your age will generally clear up if you just avoid constipation.
