A member asked:

My anus has been itchy for a week and now it has slight blood in it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have DOC take a look: Most likely external hemorrhoids, they tend to itch and people may notice blood on toilet paper. The most common cause is constipation or a diet low in fiber. Best recommendation is that you see your doctor.
