A member asked:
I'm 16 and sometimes i've noticedthere are small amounts of bright red blood on the toilet paper, and on the surface of my stool, is it cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is common after a difficult / hard stool. The "pop" wisdom that is represents hemorrhoids has less to it than that you might simply benefit from perhaps more dietary fiber and/or drinking more water.
