What does it mean when you bleed while making a bowel movement ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectal Bleeding: This is either an anal fissure (a tear in the opening of the anus caused by large hard stool or other trauma) or a hemorrhoid. ( hemorrhoids are blood clots in the rectal veins that are caused by constipation, hard stool or other trauma.) both of these can heal rapidly with soft stool and keeping the area clean. However if you have pain you may need to see your family doctor.
