Why did i bleed when i poop? It hurts when i first took the initial poop and i started to bleed bright red. I don't think i see blood stools in the poop and it was difficult to tell. After i finished and wipe the blood was thick and sort of dark.
My poop had one bright red spot on it. No blood on toilet paper or anywhere else, just one single red spot that was part of the stool. It wasnt floating on the outside or anything. Does this sound like blood or something else?
