A member asked:

I have not been able to poo for three days and now i have done a poo i had a little blood on paper?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood in paper: Since you were constipated, the stools have dried and irritated the lining of the rectum as you had a bowel movement. If you start having more bleeding, see a physician. Fiber and water will go long ways in avoiding constipation.
