A member asked:
Feels like im pooping glass when i poop. sometimes i get a drop of red blood on the toilet paper. i recently had a cbc and all was good. im 3 months postpartum. ive been taking stool softeners for weeks and not working.could this be colon cancer?

Cancer is unlikely, but no rectal bleeding is normal, and neither is painful defecation. You may have an anal fissure. See your doctor. Good luck.
