What can cause blood in your stool, and when you wipe?

Is it serious? The blood is bright red. Could this just be from straining or something? I don’t think it is far up in the digestive tract…since the blood is bright red.

Answer #1

well,it is serious, u should see your doc asap, and i’ve heard so many cases of it,generally piles is the reason,don’t know in your case but ya,as i said consult the doc.

Answer #2

It could be haemorrhoids or fissures…I would say this is most likely the cause, given the blood when you wipe. Other, more serious, causes can be colon cancer or ulcers, but I doubt that’s the problem here. Try a stool softener (Metamucil is great) and give it a few days…the bleeding should subside.

Answer #3

Oh, okay…thanks! :)

Answer #4

have you had red beets? it can also cause it to turn blood red! another would be if you were really constipated & were pushing too hard…could have caused a little friction unless we are talking massive blood rather nicks of drops of blood.

if you have any irritating & discomforting or burning sensations…I would recommend heading out to the nearest pharmacy,cvs, walmart or walgreens for a medicated over the counter thing called tucks! what it is is medicated pads to ease that uncomfortable burning sensation so you may feel more at ease!

hope this helped.

Answer #5

Thank you Temptress.. :) (it’s not me this question is for)…but I think we are just going to wait…and see if it continues. There isn’t any pain…so if it continues for more than a day…I think we will go to the doctor. :)

sounds like a good plan!
