Bright red blood in poo

[boy]

Sorry to post about all this again.

I went to have a dump this morning and it felt like it really desperately wanted to come out, which I don't often feel. When wiping, I saw a little bit of bright red on the tissue. I looked and one small piece has bright red on it :(

It was soft and I've had a bit of milder diaroheia (ugh, spelling), again in a short amount of time. Could this just be a bit of acidic erosion caused by the lingering and very soft excrement? Whenever I've found red before it was bits of tomato or red pepper, but this was definitely blood. ****'s sake!

That's the only symptom.

Anyone else found this?

Could be piles? If its bright red than that means it is fresh blood. next time you visit the dr just mention it but don't worry too much about it.

This was soft :o so I'm hoping acid erision is the cause.

Piles!

Sometimes you won't see them outside but they can still bleed when you poo!

Nothing to worry about I'm sure :)

[boy]

I don't even know what piles are. Again this was soft and there wasn't much.

[Daisybun]

I think piles are enlarged veins that can burst or bleed slightly around the back passage when pressure is put on them. Sometimes if skin is sensitive around that area it can split too.

Thanks! This sure felt like pressure, and I'm hoping that it didn't have to be hard and sharp to draw blood, as once again, this was soft.

Hi Boy,

This is going to sound odd... but it could be just a bit of red pepper! Pepper skin does not digest very well, same with chillis and some stuff used in processed food. It can be very disconcerting when you see them in your poo etc..., but believe me it's not that uncommon.

Hope that helps!

Boy,

**Graphic content** Sorry!!

I had this yesterday, and have had it on and off for a good few months. I did a bit of reading and it's almost certainly piles. I think that fresh blood is less of a worry than other types.

I had a terrible fear of bowel cancer last year and I had the spots of blood on the toilet paper episode. I ended up passing out with fear and being taken to the A&E. The doctor there was fantastic and he said that it usually signified piles or a bit of a raw bum. Anyway, it still happens occasionally now. Gets pretty itch too which I believe is another sign of piles. I have taken to using some baby wipes to help avoid any irritation and stop any spots appearing.

Man, I'm so glad you posted this topic because I have wanted to for ages but didnt have the guts to put 'poo' in the subject!!! ha ha!!

Good on yer!

-----------------------------
I want to go up to my anxiety, smile, put my arm around it and say to it caringly, 'Hey! How are you? How's your day been?'

Then, just as its about to answer me, I wanna throw a sack over it and give it a hiding within an inch of its life.

That would be nice.

Just redd back - you said about the pepper. DoH!

Poor you, Dan! :O Hope it is just that, but I have to say I won't be able to help worrying if it keeps happening, tho I'll tyr to be reassured as you did say it still happens.

Graham - yea lol thanks anyway. :p

[darkangel]

what a subject to talk about !!!!

Anyway I totally agree with Dan, I too get this alot and thought the worse.

Even managed to tell GP and once he examined me [:I] he reassured me it was internal piles and with some cream it goes away.

Hi,

Anxiety can cause IBS, which can produce piles, which does produce blood on the tissue when wiping.

I just went again and it no redness visible anywhere or on the tissue. Thanks for reassuring me guys! :)

Hello Boy! It could be Hemroids which is caused by pressure. If it is "bright red" it means it is "fresh" blood. If you experience Dark stool <Could indicate "bry" blood that has passed in your body and could have come within> then I would seek medical attention. It may also be something you ate. Hemroids ussuly happens every once and awhile and to some every time a bowel movement has been descreted. You could always go to your doctor and talk with him and he/she may order a stool sample and test your stool for and other conditions. I would not be too worried. If you continues to happen I would make a ate with the doc. I hope you start feeling better. Take care great!

Hi Man,

This is what i had years ago when i suffered from IBS.. diahrea.. sometimes containing blood. got the creasing 'i need a dumb now feeling all the time' realy drianing illness.

anyhooo. the doc explaind to me that the blood can be caused by acid burning the passage on the way out and coating stools in blood. and can look very worrying..

also the hard spikey ones that have to be forced can tare the wall on way out also. causing droplets.. when wipeing a small drop can look like loads..

*sorry i been through all this in my teens* im not into poo honest. :D

get it checked out anyway dude.. im prietty shure IBS is linked to anxiety.. anyone confirm?!
