A member asked:

Latley after a bowel movement when i wipe theres been blood . why would this be happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood when wiping: With our age and the fact that you have blood with wiping, suggests hemorrhoids. Also, ensure this is not related to menstrual period. If hemorrhoids, try increasing fiber. If bleeding a lot, get seen by a doctor.
