Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Rectal Bleeding: At 11yo probably a minor laceration-possibly from a large stool that caused irritation/inflammation. Possibly even a small hemorrhoid, but this should get better and resolve. If he continues to have rectal bleeding, even at 11yo, he needs to be seen and evaluated by the Dr. Best wishes.

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?
