Question re: BMs and Blood! TMI

I just pooped.  There was blood.  Definitely not from my vag.  (I wiped a billion times to make sure of this.)  Would this most likely be hemorrhoids?  It wasn't painful or anything.  I noticed it while wiping and then looked in the bowl of the toilet and sure enough, definite red.

Re: Question re: BMs and Blood! TMI

  • I get this from internal hemorrhoids sometimes. As long as it's red and not black you are ok. But you should still ask your doctor for peace of mind. :-)
  • I have gotten bleeding from fissures before which are essentially tiny tears in your rectum/anus.  My doctor suggested a product called Anusol which helps heal and lube up your butt... DH used it for hemorroids once before too and he said it helped.

  • I'm going through this right now. But I do have some discomfort when I start to poop. Lol sorry for the TMI.

    Because of all the discomfort I hate pooping!! I have an appointment tomorrow for my abnormal pap, I'm going to tell the doctor about it tomorrow. Hopefully she can help.

    Sorry you are going through this.
  • This happens to me a lot, and that's what I assume it is. Luckily, Santa gave me Colace in my stocking, so I haven't been having as many issues.

  • This is what happened to me when I went to the hospital. It was internal hemorrhoids. Scary but I'm glad I went.

  • I'm the same as lindsayandjamie. I get it like once or twice a year and it only lasts a day or two. I've never been diagnosed with hemorrhoids, just possible fissures. And as PP's said, red is ok, black is not.
