What could be the cause of pooping bright red blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemorrhoids: In a young person with some straining and constipation, hemorrhoids are the leading possibility. If there is a lot of diarrhea and mucus, colitis needs to be considered. Colon cancer is relatively rare in a young person but if the bleeding persists, a sigmoidoscopy should give you the answer
