A member asked:
30 now i've had rectal bleeding for about 12-15 years, profuse sometimes, but only after i poke inside to remove feces (i know, i'm weird). cancer?

Not likely: Yes, poking can cause bleeding. Question is more why are you so constipated and what can be done about it? Drink plenty water, eat fiber rich, try some over the counter fiber supplements and Dulcolax is stool softener which is also helpful.
