A member asked:

Is it bad to have a lot of blood after a bm?

Not good: Bleeding rectally is never normal. Bright red blood after a bm in a normally health young person is usually hemorhoidal, but still needs to be evaluated to assure it is nothing more serious. See a GI dr. For an evaluation. Good luck.
