Possibilities...: Blood in stool is a warning sign. Causes of bleeding may be predictable (e.g. rectal trauma, fissure, hemorrhoids with straining), but evaluation is always appropriate. A rule of thumb (but not absolute): black stool means bleeding comes from upper GI tract; grape jelly stool from small bowel; silver stool from biliary tree; burgundy stool from right colon; red blood from left colon to anus.

A member asked:
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?
