A member asked:

I went to the bathroom wiped my butt and there was blood and i wasn't constipated. what does it mean?

Blood: There are many causes to blood, but if bright red when wiping might signify either a hemorrhoid or fissure. It's important to see your physician to help determine the cause, provide treatment recommendations, and ensure nothing more concerning may be present.
