A member asked:

Why do i have a blood clot on the toilet paper after a bowel movement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anal bleeding ?'s: A clot seen after a bowel movement may simply represent hemorrhoids in the rectum, or a constipated bowel movement may tear the sensitive rectal/anal tissue. If this is a regular happening, see your gyn physician for an exam and diagnosis.

A member asked:

I just had a bowel movement and toilet water was bright red from blood. Took multiple wipes for paper to not be red. Had colonoscopy in Dec. 2020. Had one precancerous polyp removed and told to repeat in 5 years. Should i follow up earlier now?
