A member asked:
For the last two days when going for a poo there has been blood. the blood is bright red and i'm not sure what to do. can you give me some advice?

Rectal source: Bright red blood seen on the surface of stool is from the rectum or the anal sphincter. You may have a fissure or a blood vessel anomaly. In the absence of other symptoms like fever, cramping and diarrhea, these are the likely diagnoses. If the bleeding is substantial, you might see your family doctor for a diagnosis.

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?
