A member asked:

What happens when you wipe and the tissue is pink but no blood in stool?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Monitor closely: I would recommend that you advise your primary physician of the situation. Since the tissue is pink it may represent a small amount of blood on the paper. This could come from a small tear or hemorrhoid or fissure. Monitor and keep your md informed. If needed he/she will refer you to the appropriate specialist if needed.

Help fast! I noticed a bright red long streak in one of my stools today for the 1st time. Didn't see blood until the 15th wipe. No blood on the 1-5 wipes. No pain. Blood on the tissue in a bright red straight line. Could this be cancer?

A member asked:

Last night I had a bowel movement and after I wiped, there was blood on the tissue and the water was bright red. I don't feel any pain at all outside of the initial movement coming out. I'm 25. Should I be worried or was it just due to a large stool?
