A member asked:
Have bright red blood on toilet paper/water not in stool and when i looked theres cracks in my anus feels sharp when im pooping.. is this cancer?

Not likely: This sounds more like an anal fissure. These usually get better within a month if you avoid trauma to the area and constipation. If you have continued problems after that, surgery is usually very effective. See an experienced surgeon if it doesn't get better.
