A member asked:

Why do i have blood on the toilet paper?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need a medical c: A medical check up is advised as rectal bleeding can be a manifestation of serious causes like cancer although the most common cause is hemorrhoids. But only a medical examination by your doctor can find out what is the cause in your case. Do not delay it as it can become a serious problem if delayed for long.
