Blood in stool
Hi there
I went to the bathroom this morning. I went for a normal crap like normal. But when I wiped my bum the first time, there was bright red blood on the toilet paper with my poo. The second time I wiped there was nothing. This is the first time this has happened. Is this bad. Should I worry? What is it from? What should I do?
Thanks

Ty, it is probably due to haemorrhoids, but it might also be due to an anal tear or abscess, a fissure, polyps, diverticula, inflammatory bowel diseases and even tumours. The best would be to see your doctor and make sure. Good luck.
