A member asked:

Every time i poop there is fresh red blood that comes out with my bum. what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a Doctor...: Rectal bleeding is a sign of potentially a serious problem such as colon and rectal cancer. See your doctor. You would benefit from having a colonoscopy to diagnose the cause of bleeding.
